You get it done
You hear the question behind the question. Because you maintain close contact with our carriers and customers, you are able to find the best customised transport solution. From transporting children's toys to incendiary products. You work on it.

How you do this? Screening a transport request, looking for a suitable transport solution and following up the shipment when it is en route to its final destination. From A to Z, you are and remain in the lead. You ensure that shipments are handled so proactively that any unforeseen circumstances are spotted and resolved even before the customer notices or contacts you. You achieve this by:

•    booking shipments using our transport management system, with one of our carriers/transporters;
•    monitoring the status of the shipment, timely signalling any disruptions or delays en route and proactively informing the customer;
•    cancelling shipments once they reach their destination and ensuring correct invoicing to our customer.

Your team stands out within DSV for its ambition to grow. In recent years, our freight department has already experienced major growth. The demand for value-added logistics is only increasing, so within your team you will have the opportunity to help build a professional foundation for our freight department.
