Our 3 pillars of Flow Management include:
-
Expert people and an international presence
-
Advanced IT systems
-
Proven processes
For luxury goods, the logistics stakes are different from these of retail products in terms of security and geographical area. Therefore, our offer has been carefully adapted to that market by GEODIS experts, and as always, tailored to your needs.
GeoFlow: we keep you posted
Our Advanced IT Systems manage events and exceptions end-to-end from a mobile application that gives out alerts and notifications including escalation. We also organize business review meetings to define shipment and resource planning and keep your flow management needs up-to-date.
We proactively inform you in an efficient manner, letting you know the latest status, especially if something is running late or not as planned and enterprisingly provide you alternate solutions to still be as close as possible to your original targets. Technology helps us achieve end-to-end visibility through our IT GeoFlow solution, a premium service that consists of:
-
A Core Application (API)
-
A Web Portal
-
Business Analytics
-
An Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) platform that supports ERP document formats and gives you live flow monitoring.
Virtual inventory and origin management services
When it comes to luxury goods, virtual inventory or origin management and consolidation services really can come in handy. This is because you might need that specific item anywhere, anytime, as quickly as possible, for a special delivery that is destined to fulfil a special order from a very special customer.
To achieve this, GEODIS first provides visibility over your inventory in full, not just the shipments. Our dedicated IT tools support vendor and PO management and a dynamic virtual inventory.
GEODIS offers predictive analysis with real-time updates to keep your worldwide stock to the most efficient and lowest level. As procurement is done regionally from dozens of locations, we can reduce this number to a handful, using pre-assigned purchase orders and omnichannel deliveries. We can set up a single bonded or non-bonded warehouse near your products’ centre of gravity at origin, for all transport modes, to facilitate late decision on distribution channel and destination for your stock.
These Flow Management and Enterprise solutions give you a clear competitive advantage to get the products on the shelves as accurately and as quickly as you need to, allowing you to increase your revenue.
