Efficient management of transport can transform a major cost into a competitive advantage.

Moving products from manufacturing plants to warehouses, between international, national, and regional facilities and to distributors, can represent more than half of your total logistics costs. Add international sourcing and final distribution to store or end customer, and those costs can rocket even higher. Transportation management solutions give you the resources and visibility you need, at a cost you can manage.

Whether we're managing your carriers, creating a dedicated fleet or a mix of the two, we deliver high levels of service, reliability and control over your product movement to your customers.

Effectively managing the flow of returned goods and packaging to maximize the value of your assets and minimize environmental impact.

DCS will help you design, plan and implement a reverse supply chain that supports your profit goals and maximizes your assets’ value. We bring to reverse logistics the exacting management, resources, and technology required to increase control and asset recovery, improve information management, and save administrative time.
