DB Schenker Launches OBC fast Service for spare parts, medical products, other time-sensitive shipments; new air freight DBS’ product

Customer-centric innovation ensures sustainable success across sectors. The new product of DB Schenker is a good example.

Thorsten Meincke, Global Board Member for Air & Ocean Freight, DB Schenker: “With our new OBC service, we are taking air freight to new heights. Whether urgent automotive parts need to be shipped from Germany to China to prevent a line stoppage, or a medical device from Canada is instantly needed in a hospital in South Africa – we are now able to take care of any unforeseeable and very short-term requirements of our customers. Through the new white glove service, we address new market opportunities for us as a global logistics solution provider.”

The new express service of DB Schenker is characterized by a rapid response time, and includes insurance coverage and customs clearance, if required. While being available for all types of shipments except dangerous goods, no wonder, demand is especially high from major corporate customers in the automotive, electronics, high-end fashion and healthcare industries. A maximum of transparency is provided via real- time tracking, inspired by the visibility known from e-commerce deliveries.

Stefan Pargfrieder, Vice President Global Air Freight Strategy & Development, DBSchenker: “We understand that every shipment is unique. As a fully integrated logistics service provider, we want to be problem solvers for our customers. Sometimes the high value of an item is not related to its purchase price but rather to the costs adding up for every minute the item is not available. While we have already taken care of individual OBC customer requests in the past, we are now rolling out a standardized product offering across all continents.”
