We operate dedicated and multi-user warehouse operations and manage regional distribution centres with ‘control towers’, some of which manage over 1,000 shipments a day.

Our services include packaging and repackaging, labelling and kitting (before shipping the goods for final delivery to the hospital ward where products are replenished by DSV), managing waste, returns and stock levels, restacking based on expiration date, and swapping products.

These home deliveries are critically important - it's a demanding job and we feel in very safe hands with DSV
