Kuehne+Nagel has opened its third Transport Operation Centre (TOC) for Asia Pacific in India. The centre is located at the National Office in Gurugram and has been established to provide a centralised approach for pan-India distribution management. The TOC facilitates a comprehensive view of the supply chain network in order to streamline operations, increase efficiency and ultimately reduce costs through a tactical planning process.
The company’s transport operations centre currently offers customer support for more than 30 sites with optimised route and network planning which will also help to reduce the CO2 footprint within the customers’ supply chains. A team of experts will support the customers with a range of transport services available 7 days per week along with ancillary functions including live information updates while simultaneously monitoring the entire supply chain network.
According to Coen van der Maarel, MD, Kuehne+Nagel India, Sri Lanka & Maldives, the company is pleased to announce the opening of its third Transport Operations Center in Asia Pacific as part of Kuehne+Nagel’s contract logistics service. Kuehne+Nagel’s ambition is to continue investing in India that will allow them to support all its customers, regardless of industry, in the overhaul of their supply chain. The Transport Operation Centre, supported by the Kuehne Nagel Contract Logistics team, places Kuehne+Nagel more than ever at the heart of the country’s economic development.
As per Pankaj Dubey, Country Head, Contract Logistics India, the intention is to bring all existing customers on-board while also offering this service to new customers. The new Transport Operation Centre will not only optimise transport but also focus on enhancing safety and compliance.
