Customers Trust APL Logistics : Levi Strauss & Co. Europe
Senior Inbound Logistics Analyst Marianne Rolin explains how APL Logistics helped Levi Strauss Europe streamline global operations.
As global brands scale, so do the challenges behind the scenes—especially in logistics. For Levi Strauss Europe, managing the intricacies of international order flow, vendor coordination, and shipping logistics had become increasingly complex.
“With the growing business, it was getting difficult to manage efficiently our order bookings and our vendors,” explains Marianne. The time difference between teams in Europe and suppliers abroad added another layer of complication. “That would create delay in the way we deal with our bookings, our shipments,” she says. “That would delay our supply chain as a whole.”
Recognizing the need for more localized, responsive support, Levi Strauss Europe deepened its partnership with APL Logistics —a relationship that now spans nearly a decade. The solution came in the form of dedicated origin teams to take over order management responsibilities and bridge the time zone gap.
“APLL implemented very great origin teams, very knowledgeable experts to take care of the order management for us,” Rolin shares. “They’re clearly very knowledgeable now about our business processes, our needs.”
“…we’ve been able to build trust, real trust between the Levi teams and the APLL teams. So we know we can overcome any challenge that will surprise us.”
Beyond operational efficiency, Rolin points to APLL’s forward-looking mindset as another key value of the partnership. “I really enjoy learning more about what APL Logistics is doing in sustainability and in automation, machine learning,” she says. “I’m looking forward to what the future holds for us.”
After nearly ten years of collaboration, the verdict is clear. “I would definitely recommend APL Logistics for any order management purposes,” Rolin affirms. “Because they’re really one of the best.”
