Global transport and logistics service provider, DSV Thailand, has officially partnered with transport management cloud platform, oTMS, to enhance its transport digitalization management. DSV Thailand will adopt the oTMS International SaaS TMS transportation management system to enhance its transport digital management and optimize order routing.

DSV Thailand operates 29 logistics facilities in Bangkok, Nakornratchasima, and Wang Noi, offering various transport solutions for more than 70 large and medium-sized enterprise clients in industries such as consumer retail, automotive, industrial manufacturing, fashion and apparel, and pharmaceuticals. However, as business scenarios become more complex, transport management faces more challenges, and digital management reform is imperative. Therefore, DSV Thailand hopes to use the oTMS transport management system to improve its existing management system, improve overall logistics efficiency and customer satisfaction by optimizing transport routes.
