Allport Cargo Services have managed ASOS’ international supply chain operations, both air, sea , since April 2012 during which time a number of initiatives have been implemented, designed to streamline operations and provide ASOS with full visibility of their supply chain network via the Allport Cargo Services’ LIMA supply chain management platform.

In a recent development ASOS have also confirmed the appointment of ACS to provide daily overland services from their key EMEA suppliers across 14 countries.

John Williams the ACS director responsible for overland operations commented. “The fact that our supply chain management team have been supporting ASOS since 2012, and our strength in the key Turkish and Greek origins certainly helped, but ultimately we were awarded the contract because our offer was the most cost-effective, service-focused offer on the table. We are proud to have earned ASOS’ trust and look forward to enhancing their EMEA supply chain operations, to help bring consistency to their sourcing globally.”

“Our experience and service range, across the ASOS ‘near-sourcing’ regions is unparalleled, with eight freight options, embracing express to eco-friendly services, from Istanbul alone. Our objective is to deliver the highest service levels, while continuing to develop options that reduce emissions and support ASOS in achieving their long term business strategy for the brand.”
