Ahlers is taking the next step in its digital journey. With a new Transport Management System (TMS) at the core, we are building a data-driven logistics ecosystem that enhances visibility and control across global supply chains, even in the complex markets like Central Asia. In this interview, Dimitri Aerts, Corporate IT Director, shares the vision behind this transformation and what it means for our customers.

By combining their expertise, networks, and operational capabilities, the companies aim to strengthen their service offerings and provide more flexibility for customers moving cargo along the Middle Corridor.

Even the most urgent requests can spark long-term partnerships when built on collaboration and trust. When a major cosmetics manufacturer urgently needed a logistics partner in Vietnam, the clock was already ticking, leaving only 48 hours to set up a fully operational warehousing solution in Ho Chi Minh City. For the Ahlers team, the challenge became an opportunity to demonstrate operational agility and true teamwork.

When global tobacco producers expanded eastward in the 1990s, Ahlers followed, combining European standards with local expertise in complex markets. Three decades later, that journey shaped our identity in high-value logistics and secured transportation. By leveraging deep industry expertise, new technologies and partnerships with top security experts and trusted carriers, we help our customers protect every shipment while reducing transport costs by up to 30%.
