The Operations team

The Ops Team is at the heart of the OVRSEA customer experience: reactivity, excellence, pedagogy and customer awareness are the leitmotiv !

The Ops team is the main contact for our customers and acts as a link between all our service providers, who have been selected on the basis of quality of service, responsiveness and reliability.

What does it mean to be an Ops Manager at OVRSEA ?

The Ops Manager responds to our customers’ requests for quotes in a fast and relevant way and have the role of making the pricing and purchasing operations more efficient by improving the tools and processes in place.

The Ops Manager communicates in real time with the customer concerning the evolution of the transport, informs him on the important stages, guides him in case of constraints and hazards and is a force of proposal if the situation requires it.

He is also in daily contact with the various service providers chosen (in general 4 to 5 service providers are necessary for an import : an agent in a foreign country, the shipping company, the customs declarant, and the carrier) and acts as a link between all the parties involved throughout the duration of the transport.

At the end of the transport, the Ops Manager is in charge of invoicing and billing the transport file.

For all these reasons, the Ops occupies a major role in OVRSEA’s activity, which makes it a key pillar for the company.
