DHL Supply Chain 是美洲合同物流领域的，隶属于德国邮政 DHL 集团，今天宣布其运输数字化战略取得更多进展。这些进步包括与 Convoy 和 Turvo 建立新的合作伙伴关系，以及实施机器人流程自动化 (RPA)——所有这些都将使 DHL Supply Chain 能够为其客户提供更高水平的服务。
Convoy 的数字货运网络和 Turvo 平台将与 我的供应链 – DHL 专有的端到端可见性和商业智能解决方案。
DHL Supply Chain 是家与 Convoy 合作的第三方物流供应商，Convoy 是一个全国性的数字货运网络，专注于通过连接的货运公司和托运人来解决 800B 美元的货运行业中的问题，以运送数百万卡车的货物。DHL 已将 Convoy 的承运人网络直接集成到他们的供应链应用程序中，从而提供对 Convoy 的自动实时定价的访问权限，使托运人能够在有保证的覆盖范围内从增加的容量中受益。
“Convoy 和 DHL 都强调更有效地运输货物，而这一重点构成了我们关系的支柱，”Brooks McMahon Convoy 合作伙伴关系副总裁说。“现在 DHL 可以轻松访问 Convoy 的自动实时定价和安全容量，可以根据客户的需求灵活调整。”
DHL Supply Chain 还与实时协作物流平台 Turvo 合作，以推动整个货运端到端生命周期的上下文可见性和协作。这将使所有各方能够同时查看相同的信息并对其采取行动。
DHL Supply Chain 的团队还在将机器人流程自动化 (RPA) 集成到日常运营中。RPA 利用软件自动执行重复性任务，例如收集交付证明文件、安排装载、事件跟踪等，从而减少人工错误并提高速度。北美的 DHL Supply Chain 使用 RPA 抵消了 5,000 多个小时的人工工作，而在全球范围内，每年在试点期间节省了 30,000 多个小时。
“在 RPA 之前，许多基本的日常任务需要等到容量允许才能完成。现在，它们可以快速且准确地完成，让我们的员工可以将更少的时间花在忙碌的工作上，而将更多的时间花在他们喜欢的战略性增值工作上，”DHL 供应链北部运输总裁 Jim Monkmeyer 说美国。“Turvo 是我们数字化工作的另一个重要补充。它为托运人和承运人提供了更轻松的协作和透明度。通过改进我们在整个供应链中的合作方式，我们可以同时提高效率和客户服务。”
根据*近的一份 DHL 报告，公司越来越多地将运输视为一种战术商品，现在有 71% 的公司将其视为其业务的战略组成部分。四分之三 (75%) 的公司认为，在运输方面投入时间和资源将直接帮助他们的公司销售，63% 的公司认为大数据和人工智能将支持数字货运市场等工具，从而实现更智能的运输运营。
执行副总裁 Mark Kunar 表示：“我们一直在思考超越今天的出货量，因此随着我们继续积极推行我们的供应链数字化战略并扩大我们的运输能力，与 Convoy 和 Turvo 的合作伙伴关系使我们能够加快我们的计划，” DHL Supply Chain 北美的战略、运输和汽车、工程和制造、化学和能源。“两者都拥有高水平的技术专长，并且他们通过使用技术不断努力保持市场地位，这意味着我们能够通过实现更高的可预测性、可见性和敏捷性来帮助我们的客户化他们的供应链价值。通过这些伙伴关系，
DHL Supply Chain, the Americas leader in contract logistics and part of Deutsche Post DHL Group, today announces more advancements in its transportation digitization strategy. These advancements include new partnerships with Convoy and Turvo, as well as implementing robotic process automation (RPA) – all of which will enable DHL Supply Chain to provide higher levels of service for its customers.
Convoy’s digital freight network and the Turvo platform will integrate with MySupplyChain – DHL’s proprietary end-to-end visibility and business intelligence solution.
DHL Supply Chain is the first third-party logistics provider to partner with Convoy, a nationwide digital freight network that is focused on solving problems in the $800B trucking industry by connecting the best trucking companies and shippers to move millions of truckloads. DHL has directly integrated Convoy’s network of high-quality carriers into their supply chain application providing access to Convoy’s automated real-time pricing allowing shippers to benefit from increased capacity with guaranteed coverage.
“Convoy and DHL have a shared emphasis on moving freight more efficiently, and that focus forms the backbone of our relationship,” said Brooks McMahon Convoy VP of Partnerships. “Now DHL can easily access Convoy’s automated real-time pricing and secure capacity that can flex with their customers’ needs.”
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. RPA leverages software to automate repetitive tasks such as collecting documents for proof of delivery, scheduling loads, event tracking and others, reducing manual error and increasing speed. DHL Supply Chain in North America has offset over 5,000 hours of manual work with RPA, and globally there are over 30,000 hours saved per year during the pilots.
“Before RPA many basic, day-to-day tasks would need to wait to be completed until capacity allowed. Now they are done quickly and with a high level of accuracy, freeing our employees to spend less time doing busy work and more time doing the strategic value-added work they enjoy,” said Jim Monkmeyer, President, Transportation, DHL Supply Chain, North America. “Turvo is another critical complement to our digitization 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.”
According to a recent DHL report, companies are increasingly viewing transportation as more than a tactical commodity, with 71 percent now considering it to be a strategic component of their business. Three quarters (75 percent) of companies believe investing time and resources in transportation will directly help their company sales, and 63 percent believe big data and artificial intelligence, which power tools such as digital freight marketplaces, will enable smarter transportation operations.
“We are always thinking beyond today’s shipment, so as we continue to aggressively pursue our supply chain digitization strategy and increase our breadth of transport capabilities, partnerships with Convoy and Turvo allow us to accelerate our plans,” said Mark Kunar, Executive Vice President, Strategy, Transportation and Automotive, Engineering & Manufacturing, Chemical and Energy at DHL Supply Chain, North America. “Both have a high-level of technical expertise and their ongoing efforts to remain ahead of the market through their use of cutting-edge technology means we are able to help our customers maximize their supply chain value by enabling greater predictability, visibility and agility. Through these partnerships, we will also enable our customers to continue to expand the freight options available to them while streamlining processes to improve efficiency.”
