Organising and optimising transport goes far beyond physically moving goods by road, rail, water and air.
What will you do?
As Digital Transformation Specialist, you play a key role in digitizing and thus optimizing our (new) services as transport director. In doing so, you operate at the interface of operations and technology. Your focus areas are diverse. For instance, you are responsible for developing and managing our Managed EDI and API solutions that streamline communication between our customers and the various logistics partners.
You are also (co-)responsible for the execution of improvement projects and give advice on process improvement within IDS and for our customers. In the improvement projects, you focus on implementation on the work floor. You will create support, train employees and make them owners of the change. Following a fixed step-by-step plan, you go from strategy to operations and via the analysis phase and improvement sessions to the implementation of new processes and methodologies.

Our ambition is to make our customers smarter by providing good insight, demonstrably improving performance and smartly reducing costs and CO2 emissions. Europe is our working area with specializations in chemistry, food and trade & manufacturing. Frost-free or conditioned transport, whether or not in combination with ADR goods, we know our way around.
As Transport Manager, you and your team determine priorities and ensure that questions are handled quickly and correctly. You are constantly talking to customers about their transport needs, regular transports, rush orders and specific transport issues and you look for the best solutions within our network and otherwise outside it. You are also actively involved in optimizing processes and coaching your team.
Periodically you create rate sheets for shippers and our carriers based on the cargo flows of our customers and you ensure that these are prepared for recording in our Transport Management System (TMS). You are leading in this. You also ensure that, for example, diesel oil surcharges are determined, communicated with carriers and shippers and recorded. Searching for efficiency and immersing yourself in the customer’s cargo flows and the partners’ specialties is what it is all about.
Depending on your interests and ambitions, you can also take up tasks in the area of quality or carrier management. And otherwise, for example, application management. And besides we are growing healthily, do you see opportunities for IDS? Indicate it and we’ll see if we can develop it together. That way you can grow personally!
Where you do that? At our beautiful office in De Meern. Accessible by bus and free parking on our own grounds. There we have really good coffee ( or tea ), we provide part of the lunch, there is fruit and we make sure you have the right tools to enjoy working. Of course we also organize fun activities outside working hours and you can use Goodhabitz, the online learning platform with lots of useful and enjoyable training courses. This is how you keep developing yourself at IDS!
