Electronic Industry Solutions
Technology manufacturers have some of the most complicated supply chain requirements of any industry because of the nature of the products: complex, high value and rapid obsolescence.

Our logistics solutions help technology companies reduce inventory and cycle time, while providing control and visibility through to final delivery. This is achieved by focusing on product availability and optimisation of product flows and supply chain costs. For optimum flexibility and speed, you can outsource your entire logistics operation, including distribution centres, transport, back-office, supply chain management and after sales, to DHL.
Electronics/Telecom
DHL provides the know-how to optimise flows and drive down supply chain costs. You reduce stock but not quality, and maintain flexibility to meet market needs. Services include:
  • Modular networks consisting of warehouses and hubs, downstream links enabling merge-in-transit, and delivery capabilities for any size, speed and dimension
  • Inbound logistics (VMI or JIT)
  • Electronics Distribution Network (EDN)
  • Reverse logistics
  • After sales logistics - spare parts
  • Lead Logistics Provider (SCM) - integrated supply chain services from DHL, whether end-to-end solutions or management of partial supply chain solutions
  • Complete outsourcing, including transfer of staff, infrastructure financing, business optimisation and supply chain integration

Inbound to Manufacturing
Our Inbound to Manufacturing service enables our customers to more effectively manage the inbound flow of materials from collection points at their component suppliers' facilities to consumption points in their production lines. We help address the constant challenge for both finished goods manufacturers and component and sub-assembly suppliers who must adapt to shorter product lifecycles and the migration of production facilities to developing countries.
