DHL Supply Chain has announced that it is partnering with Convoy and Turvo as part of its transportation digitalisation strategy. Additionally, DHL Supply Chain is implementing robotic process automation (RPA) into its everyday operations.
DHL Supply Chain is the first third-party logistics provider to partner with Convoy, a nationwide digital freight network connecting trucking companies and shippers. DHL has integrated Convoy’s carrier network into its supply chain application, MySupplyChain, providing access to Convoy’s automated real-time pricing.
DHL Supply Chain is also partnering with Turvo, a real-time collaborative logistics platform, to drive contextual visibility and collaboration across the end-to-end lifecycle of a shipment. This will allow all parties the ability to view and take action on the same information at the same time.
The team at DHL Supply Chain is also expanding its integration of robotic process automation (RPA) into everyday operations. DHL Supply Chain in North America claims to have offset over 5,000 hours of manual work with RPA, and globally there are over 30,000 hours saved per year during the pilots.
“Turvo is another critical complement to our digitisation efforts. It enables easier collaboration and transparency for shippers and carriers. By improving the way we work together across the entire supply chain we can improve efficiency and customer service simultaneously,” said Jim Monkmeyer, President, Transportation, DHL Supply Chain, North America.
