Through its cloud-based collaborative global platform, DHL Global Forwarding claims it is able to provide customers with shipment tracking, expedited management of purchase orders, real-time visibility of operational changes, enhanced customs visibility, end-to-end standardized logistics execution, and early intervention of discrepancies in any stage of shipment under one service platform.

With the retail sector being the earliest adopters of ISC’s service and cloud platform, there has been a recent influx of interest among customers from the technology, automotive, life science, chemicals, and engineering and manufacturing sectors.“The marrying of the company’s ISC and customs expertise offers customers an end-to-end solution with greater control over their supply chain and guidance on regulatory compliance,” said Jose Maria de Orduna, head of Operations and Value Added Services, Americas. “DHL Global Forwarding’s experts have used their multi-industry supply chain knowledge to tailor this cloud service offering as an in-house, one-stop shop to meet supply chain and customs needs, something not previously available in the market.”

In survey and case study interviews conducted by Aberdeen Group, results show that firms enjoying best-in-class supply chain performance differentiate themselves by developing a centralized supply chain management platform for global multi-enterprise visibility and control with cloud-based connectivity.

DHL Global Forwarding’s ISC team developed its supply chain management service platform to be more flexible in its system configurations, streamlining of processes, improvement of efficiencies, and visibility from the moment a purchase order is issued to delivery of the goods; the announcement added.

As part of the Inter-American Development Bank’s Inter-American Network of International Trade Single Windows initiative, talks have been underway to implement national single window projects throughout Latin America.

DHL states ahead: "With a steady increase of international trade, DHL Global Forwarding’s ISC team has assisted a number of customers in growing their businesses with greater air and ocean shipment visibility in real-time, no matter what industry sector. With an unprecedented period of growth in Latin America in particular, U.S. based multinational corporations with increasing business in the region will require experienced brokers that understand the new processes being enacted."
