“Schenker Singapore is objective-driven and
professional in their management, and ready to work
with us to find collaborative solutions. Their caring
approach towards managing their environmental
impact is also reflected in their striving to operate and
own eco-sustainable logistics hubs.” – Thomas Chu,
Managing Director, Boustead Projects Limited
when working in Singapore is cooperation
with government agencies. Compared with
many other countries in the Asia–Pacific,
over the past 20–30 years we have always had
strong relationships with government agencies
including the Economic Development Board
Singapore, JTC Corporation, and
International Enterprise Singapore,” Charlie
explains. “Singapore Customs is also very
supportive of our business and it has been
crucial in facilitating our trade flow into
other countries where the practices may
be slightly different from our own. It gave
our Singapore business a dedicated customer
officer to help us resolve any challenges we
might encounter with our customs processes,
particularly now that we’re heavily involved
in the Singapore Free Trade Agreement.”
DOING THINGS DIFFERENTLY
As the main supplier and manufacturing base
in the world, the Asia–Pacific has the highest
growth potential in terms of consumption. To
better serve its customers, Schenker Singapore
is committed to providing innovative supply
chain solutions that challenge the status quo.
“As we move into a new digital economy,
our business shifts away from the
conventional practices of a logistics company.
We’ve collected a lot of data during our
course of business so we’re now looking at
ways to monetise these assets and equip our
people with the skills needed to use this data
to better serve our customer requirements,”
Charlie explains. “By increasing automation,
we’re able to collect more comprehensive
data and automate a lot of our physical
processes at the same time.”
In his 30 years in the industry, the
greatest change Charlie has seen is in the
response speed. “Everyone wants things done
quickly and at the same time. So, we have to
stay ahead of the game,” he notes. Schenkerto comeHalf page advert
