Global logistics operator with 650+ distribution centers across 46 countries
Yusen Logistics operates a sprawling physical and digital supply chain infrastructure—650+ distribution centers, 25,000+ employees across 46 countries, and a tech stack anchored in SAP, Azure, and specialized freight tools (Cargowise, e2open, Manhattan). Active hiring across logistics, ops, and sales signals expansion, while projects around enterprise data warehouse development, TMS implementations, and air freight expansion (especially time-critical AOG shipments) reveal a company moving from process harmonization to digital-first operations. Pain points cluster around customs compliance, process standardization, and data governance—typical friction points when scaling a multinational logistics network.
