Officially opened during a formal ceremony on December 21, the Bangalore CoE operates with 60 supply chain experts and complements the existing centres in Mexico, the USA, France, Serbia and China.

 

"Centralizing the technology, processes, and people needed to collect supply chain data, GEODIS CoEs provide customers with the visibility required to inform the necessary 'live' decision-making," it said.

 

"Geodis Centers of Excellence are aimed to help build a culture of excellence in our customers' supply chain management. We strive to achieve this by managing their business from one place and improving the required overall visibility. Working closely with customers, our teams of experts optimize operational processes," Geodis said.

 

"By exerting total control of the supply chain, they improve resiliency as well as accelerate decision-making. These are crucial outcomes, particularly in today’s complex and global supply chain ecosystem," it added.

 

Acting as an extension of customers' supply chain organization (international and domestic flows, warehousing, last-mile delivery, reverse logistics), Bangalore CoE will render services from order management to pick-up and delivery management, exception management, and freight bill audit.

 

Geodis noted that the new CoE's location in Bangalore was chosen primarily for the availability of a critical mass of talented supply chain specialists.

 

The investment was also attracted by the fact that India has the world's fifth-largest economy with a high growth rate and the biggest population of graduates.
