HIGH ADDED-VALUE SOLUTIONS

The main variables that influence how SDV adapts its solutions are: the supply chain’s degree of complexity, the target performance level and the role allocated to contractors by the customer.

If the aim is to rationalise operations…

The customer’s products are available in many different markets. The customer diversified its supply sources and then broadened its range of international suppliers.

To control the flow of its goods, the customer needs to coordinate the activities of a large number of contractors. The designated objective is to boost the productivity of the logistics chain, both upstream and downstream of production.

Our solutions would include...
- Managing supplier relations upstream of the transport cycle
- Concentrating supply and distribution flows on SDV platforms
- Improving operations visibility
- Producing key performance indicators

If the aim is to transform the logistics system…

The customer has the opportunity to gain competitive advantage by strengthening its supply chain performance. To achieve this, the customer is considering an in-depth transformation of its current logistics system.

Our solutions offer a total reorganization of the customer’s lead logistics system. SDV then has the responsibility of Lead Logistics Provider (LLP), with contractual commitments.
