People centricity

At CEVA Logistics, people are central to everything. CEVA focuses and listens to customers' needs and designs customized and robust services and solutions that add value to customer supply chains.

Recent examples of actively listening to customers include; Healthcare customers asked for the ‘the future healthcare logistics solutions’, CEVA developed FORPATIENTS, a suite of natively multimodal, safe, transparent, and digitally-enabled solutions built around patients' well-being and caring for the planet. These solutions ensure customers have the choice and flexibility to ship, store and move healthcare products across the globe, regionally or by country.

When CEVA customers required air cargo capacity when capacity was low and demand was high, CEVA launched two new air freight solutions to ensure customer supply chains kept moving.
