As Cisco in recent years expanded its business rapidly in the region, on-time delivery and real time visibility of shipments became increasingly imperative for successful management of its supply chain. To cater to Cisco’s needs, in December 2010, TNT established a control tower in Beijing with a dedicated team and customized IT systems to monitor Cisco’s international shipments across the Asia-Pacific. The control tower monitors the entire process, from start to end, until shipments are delivered. As a result, Cisco can ascertain the real time status of its shipments. Moreover, the control tower also offers a proactive notification on import and export regulation changes to help Cisco avoid any unexpected service delays.
Michael Drake, Regional Managing Director, TNT Asia Pacific, said, "We feel honored and encouraged that TNT Express is recognized by our major customers, like Cisco, for our innovation in providing progressive services . By working closely with our customers, we are committed to constantly improving the delivery process and providing solutions to help their businesses grow."
TNT Express Greater China began developing its strong partnership with Cisco in 2004. TNT provides Cisco with a wide range of services including domestic and international distribution, and warehouse management.
