Geodis ships 23 million units in the USA
Next to countless teams of jolly elves, Geodis is the latest addition to the legendary list of Santa’s helpers. The third-party logistics provider shipped 23 million units in the USA, to set a new shipping volume record between Thanksgiving and Cyber Monday. The record-breaking increase is driven largely by the continued and growing trend of online holiday shopping.
"The holiday season is the most critical time for our customers, whose businesses hinge on Geodis getting their products to their customers on-time for every single order,” says Randy Tucker, president and CEO, Geodis Americas.
“As volume increases, we are constantly seeking ways to strengthen our productivity. We do this through innovation in our warehouses, while also providing our talented workforce with the most robust environment and technologies so that we can be as successful as possible.”
Along with technology and automation, the Geodis workforce will grow by more than 7,000 during the 2019 holiday season to accommodate the increased volume. (mw)
