Your colleagues in the warehouse receive the shipment, check it for numbers, damage and documentation. You then ensure that the shipment is prepared, the associated transport is found and all certifications and documentation are correct. In a way that you work together on the satisfaction of the international key accounts. And in between you inform the customer about the progress of other shipments. You achieve this by: 

• processing customer orders in the DSV system and informing colleagues what to do;

• solve possible problems in a customer-oriented way;
