Reliability is proofed at stormy times

DACHSER moved 23 tons of retail products from France to Korea by air just in time before the festive season despite challenges of social protest, time and capacity.

DACHSER Korea successfully completed an urgent shipment before the Christmas holidays.
DACHSER Korea successfully completed an urgent shipment before the Christmas holidays.

During the pre-Christmas period in 2019, DACHSER was able to find a solution to receive the entire order of retail cosmetic products within a tight time frame, whereas the competitions in the market was so strong that it was hard to find any space with airlines at the peak season.

A race against time

The request from the multinational beauty company came only on December 6: The shipment of 80 pallets had to be collected from a town near Orléans, a 3-hour drive from Paris in France, and delivered to the customer’s warehouse located in the Gyeonggi province, in the suburbs of Seoul in Korea, by December 20.

"At DACHSER we have a smart process design for capacity management, so we are able to offer our customers reliable services at any time even at the critical periods," Yves Larquemin, Managing Director Air & Sea Logistics Far East North

Thanks to the effective capacity management and the seamless communications between DACHSER France and DACHSER Korea, the air shipment was picked up from the origin and transferred smoothly to Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport in spite of the ongoing social protests in France against the change of national pension system. It was then dispatched via two direct flights to Seoul Incheon International Airport on December 15 and 16. Finally, DACHSER Korea delivered the shipment on December 18 at the customer's warehouse, two days prior to the deadline.

Despite the ongoing social protests, DACHSER France picked up and transferred the shipment smoothly to Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport.

Overcoming the challenges

Latest update on DACHSER Air & Sea Logistics operations

With this update DACHSER would like to inform about the current DACHSER Air & Sea Logistics operations across the regions APAC, EMEA and Americas. In the attached document (see download below) it is listed whether a country organization of DACHSER is operational or, if only limited or not at all, why this is the case. Since the situation in the countries may change rapidly, the attached document will be updated on a regular basis and published on our website.

We sincerely regret any inconveniences caused to our customers due to the pandemic. At DACHSER, we have contingency measures in place and will offer our customers the best alternative solutions to keep the supply chain running. Anyhow, the situation at ports, airports or customs authorities might cause delays. Furthermore, the capacity situation on the global airfreight market is very tense as there are basically no passenger flights operating at the moment.

At the same time, DACHSER has installed strict hygiene measures (e.g. home office) to ensure a safe working environment and to do our part in stopping the spread of the virus. DACHSER is trying to keep the impact of these measures as low as possible, however, together with the official measures by the governments, the precautions may lead to some delays in the operations.

In case of any questions and/or queries, please feel free to contact your local DACHSER representative.
