TVS Supply Chain Solutions has signed a new 5-year strategic contract with Daimler Truck SouthEast Asia, a Daimler Truck AG company, for integrated supply chain solutions service in Singapore.

This contract solidifies TVS SCS as a primary logistics partner for Daimler Truck AG, the world’s largest manufacturer of commercial vehicles, reinforcing the organisation’s commitment to delivering logistics services between Germany and the Asia-Pacific region, the company said in a statement.

“The scope and prestige of this partnership reflect the trust placed in TVS SCS to manage critical supply chain operations,” Vittorio Favati, CEO of TVS SCS Global Forwarding Solutions, said.

The collaboration between TVS SCS and Daimler Truck SouthEast Asia aims to address critical operational objectives including establishing a robust logistics solution for distributing spare parts and related items, and streamlining supply chain operations, servicing Daimler Truck SouthEast Asia’s distributor network, dealers, and workshops in 16 countries in the Asia-Pacific region from its strategic

logistics centre in Singapore.

Besides, it will offer efficient management of 8,000 SKUs and 65,000 order lines annually, accommodating a diverse range of parts with varying storage requirements, ensure smooth transportation across multiple modes, including air, full container load (FCL), less than container load (LCL), and road transportation, coupled with customs clearance and dangerous goods (DG) declarations.

“TVS SCS is delivering a customised IT solution suite, centred on a bespoke online platform that provides inventory visibility and ordering to Daimler Truck Parts Centre (DTPC) Southeast Asia customers. The IT solution also provides DTPC SEA with an integrated capability for inventory management, parts replenishment ordering, parts pricing, invoicing and data analytics,” the company said.
