Pramod Kumar Srivastava,Director & CEOThe logistics industry has been long plagued by the delayed timelines and compromised deliveries, thanks to the widespread multi-source vendor practice making disorderly service an accepted ‘part and parcel’ of the industrial processing. Bringing order to this chaos are single source vendors that often help customers gain transparency, invest in low cost inventory, and reduce the agonising paper work, thereby yielding higher productivity and enabling timely deliveries.

One such rare and comprehensive logistics solution provider is Kolkata-based PDP Group, which is re-defining the sector by offering its customers every thing from container train operation to warehousing services, under a single solutions window. “By offering complete logistic solutions, we take care of our clients’ entire documentation work, transport arrangement, customs clearance
formalities and freight forwarding. Therefore, customers are at ease and have one point of contact for all their requirements,” explains Pramod Kumar Srivastava, Director & CEO, The PDP Group. The company’s entire logistics web is technically embedded with ERP system, GPS and Inventory & Driver Management Software for a secure & smooth transportation.
