DB SCHENKERleadlogistics is our collective name for 4PL, LLP, freight management, transport management and supply chain solutions. Managing logistics and a wide range of external providers across your supply chain is complex.

DB SCHENKERleadlogistics has the expertise to manage these complexities under one roof. We identify and bring on board the best and most competitive providers and sub-contractors for each aspect of your supply chain. In doing so, you receive the optimal logistics set up for your business. Our set up is cost-effective, uses top service providers (by lane/capability), and draws on a broad set of providers to guarantee capacity. By acting as a single point of contact, our expert engineers provide a one-stop-shop, while accessing the skills, capacity and cost advantage of the best service providers on the market.

Regional Lead Logistics

We understand that managing global supply chains requires local knowledge. At every stage, market structures, culture, politics and local business practices can vary. Cross-border logistics, in particular, can be highly complex. That’s why we have developed regional services to handle the local aspects of global logistics: Lead Logistics Europe, Lead Logistics Americas and Lead Logistics Asia Pacific.

Although adapted locally, our Lead Logistics services are globally integrated and transparent. Using inventories within warehouses and cross dock facilities, we tightly manage your supply chain from end-to-end.
