Customers know the numbers by heart: that Maersk yearly does upwards of five million inland transports for more than 25,000 customers, including the world’s largest and most recognised brands. And that we do it in 150 countries across the entire globe.
Fewer brokers, less hassle
Customers are well aware that Maersk is not only serving them by transporting the containers at sea. That when the cargo reaches port, Maersk is the connection between the local and global supply chain. That the rail services are configured to the vessels’ schedules, ensuring fast, inland delivery.
Maersk has experienced local product managers on the ground, ensuring the best solution for the supply chain
The customer is on the phone with the Maersk sales rep and it’s top of mind that when discussing the ocean transports, it will save time, money, and paperwork if considered adding land transportation to and from the warehouse. Rather than having to add inland transportation two days before the cargo reaches port and having to go looking for a different broker, tell the logistics colleagues that this is much easier to book everything at the same time with the same partner. And that in doing so, the customers are working with the +2,500 inland suppliers, all approved and verified by the supplier standards. And on top of this, Maersk has experienced local product managers on the ground, ensuring the best solution for the supply chain.
Capture the room with stories about the sensibility in countering bottlenecks and disruptions by distributing the company’s goods and supply chain by ship, train and truck. Through this the customers are building resilience into the company’s supply chain and even when faced with congestions and irregularities on one string, customers will still have goods to sell.
Logistics as an opportunity for growth
Customers know that they can create opportunities for the company by knowing all of this. That by building a resilient supply chain across the sea, track and road they put logistics in the driver’s seat as an enabler of growth. That – if not known before – the last 18 months have taught them the necessity of building a durable, agile supply chain with end-to-end visibility that can quickly match supply with demand. And that the best way to do this is with a trusted partner, with who they can plan.
This is why Maersk calls itself the integrator of global logistics. And are ready to plan the end-to-end logistics needs with the customers, all the way.
