Achieving visibility in the supply chain is the key to both simplifying otherwise complex logistics set-ups and to ensuring shipment security. Technology products tend to be high-value goods and manufacturers want the appropriate level of security with maximum visibility – even for smaller shipments – without sacrificing speed to market or price.
These customers need full visibility across the end-to-end supply chain so that high-value goods can be tracked more easily and corrective actions can be taken immediately.

Similarly, as supply chains increase in complexity, with multiple, specialized providers, a dedicated end-to-end management and visibility function – such as a lead logistics provider (LLP) solution – is called for to effectively manage it all and simplify things for the customer.
At DHL, we provide our technology customers with global supply chain management, LLP and control tower solutions, employing our sophisticated, end-to-end visibility tools. These include DHL’s Supply Chain Integrator (SCI), advanced realtime GPS and 3G tracking capabilities for road, ocean and air transport, along with secure, TAPA-certified facilities.

In fact, we recently rolled out the DHL High Value Freight solution for less then truckload (LTL) shipments across Europe, to complement the full truckload (FTL) service.
We also offer the visibility and security of realtime tracking of ocean-going containers through our DHL Ocean Secure service. And, for air freight, too, technology solutions are being specially developed to save shipment data during flight, and then transmit this data after landing.

We also call on DHL’s specialized competence centers, as well as consolidated distribution services and hubs, to ensure visibility is coupled with maximum supply chain efficiency and security. And, speaking of visibility, we can provide CO2 emissions tracking for customers looking to monitor their end-to-end environmental footprint, too.
