2 Questions to Katrin Sandstrom | FMS Sweden
I work mainly with our ocean-import business from India, Bangladesh and Pakistan. My role is to nominate carriers for shipments and coordinate loadings of console-boxes. I also follow the shipments through the start of their journey to Europe and make sure our customers have up to date information of expected arrival etc.
Through my eight years at this company, I have been working close together with our IT and Management with regards to our processes and systems. Always aiming to increase customer value and make our work as efficient as possible. Now as we are part of the FMS Group, it is very natural for me to have the role of a Multiplier.
We are a great team working at FMS Sweden and our objective is to add value for our customers. The atmosphere is very friendly, and we all aim to do a good job and have fun in the process. As I’m always trying to find efficient ways of doing things it’s very rewarding for me to be able to work with this in my daily job.
