3 Questions to Bui Thi Thanh Quy | FMS Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

What is your job at FMS?

I am in charge of procurement and operations for FMS Vietnam, Ho Chi Minh City office. My tasks are dealing with “numbers” every day (a different kind of number than in the Accounting Department) but the same mutual spirit: looking for the lowest number of freight or service provider’s to provide the cost-savings to customers and agents.

For the operations, we have an experienced team here to take care of all import export shipments. So I just manage the whole operation, making sure all shipments will go well, intervening in case of troubles.

How was your professional development at/before FMS?

I worked for Panalpina 9 years as leader of Adidas and Decathlon team, I enjoyed the time working there a lot, learning valued experience in operation of 3PL logistics provider.

Then when joining FMS, I could contribute those to my work to set up standard operation procedure at the beginning. With the supports from other branches, especially our headquarter from Hamburg, we here could complete our own procedure following to HQ regulations. A some-year break with FMS for working at a Chinese logistics company also helped me to accumulate other soft skills. Now I have more sources, which helped me after my return to FMS early in March 2022. It is great to be in charge in more sales activities, where I can contribute the GP and TEU for company.

What makes FMS a great employer for you?

We believe that FMS Vietnam is a second family for every member who works here, with no distance between managers and employees.

We work hard to create a pleasant workplace for everyone. In addition, a professional work attitude is also a goal we strive for. We want all employees to learn and adapt to their daily tasks, therefore FMS offers courses such as English classes or customs training.
