Retail

Yusen Logistics works with retailers large and small, both well established and new to the market, providing supply chains from origin to destination.

Solutions that we currently provide for retailers include:

  • Global supply chain management
  • Total point-to-point freight management by air and sea
  • Market entry into Europe
  • E-fulfilment operation launches

We appreciate that successful retailing means managing demand peaks, be they seasonal or the result of product launches or promotions. With global coverage, a flexible workforce and specialist expertise, we pride ourselves on our ability to ensure quality of service.

Working Together

A dedicated team with the right skills – analysts, industry specialists and experienced operators – will take your project from data analysis through solution design, planning and resourcing, in close liaison with you at every step.

Structured project management ensures smooth implementations are delivered on time, while continuous improvement programmes provide a clear focus and incentive for cost reduction and service enhancement initiatives.

Supply Chain Management

With a global network for ocean, air and road movement, underpinned by state-of-the-art IT systems, we design solutions which provide visibility and control from origin to point of delivery.

Taking a neutral approach to transport mode and service provider ensures our customers enjoy the best solution for their business.

From vendor and freight management to high-speed customs clearance and delivery into customers’ distribution networks, we provide visibility and inventory control enabling optimization of supply chain costs.

Drawing on our experience as an ocean and air-freight forwarder, we can help pick the optimum route and provide the ideal packing and transportation environment for any kind of cargo. We can undertake specialised handling, providing high-performance air transportation services for the most sensitive and urgent cargoes.

We provide a full range of warehousing and distribution services including e-fulfilment, specialist warehousing and secure distribution on a local, national and international basis.

In Europe our network of cross-docks helps to streamline transport lanes between multiple origins and destinations, enabling improved frequency and utilisation.

With the economies of scale offered by the pan-European road network, we work closely with retailers and their suppliers to identify backhaul opportunities.
