DHL warehouse management to be standardised across the globe

The international courier has a presence in over 220 nations and employs around 275,000 throughout the world, so it makes sense for them to make the supply chain management product standard in every country. It is hoped that this technology will help to make its international delivery service even more effective.

This deal with the US software company will ensure that the accuracy of its systems is improved and that all its facilities are working within the same simple framework. It will also prove to be a more cost effective solution to warehouse management.

The CIO for DHL Supply Chain, Alex Pilar, speaking about the positive impact the agreement will have on the business, said:

"DHL's expertise in designing and operating innovative supply chain solutions, together with utilizing RedPrairie’s quality tools, is bringing unique value to our customers across all sectors. Improving the ability to synchronize and optimize productivity in the warehouse and the workforce will enable DHL to continue to lead the way in meeting the increasingly complex global supply chain challenges our customers face every day."
