Freight Services
Merge-In-Transit
Consolidation of shipments from different locations for final delivery to a customer. This is particularly useful for shippers sourcing part of their products from third-party suppliers where it does not require reworking prior to delivery to the end consignee. The shipper does not take the product into inventory.
Visibility Management
Event management gives visibility of incidents within the supply chain.
As Lead Logistics Provider, DHL consolidates the different logistics information and provides one integrated view to the customer.

We use an independent platform, exchanging the relevant information with all the parties involved in the logistics process. This approach is very flexible and makes it easy to add new partners.

Tracking and tracing is possible with all reference numbers used on business documents such as sales orders, purchase orders, transport orders or warehouse orders and across the different parties involved.
Consultancy for Freight Management
Freight Management, the management of the transport and distribution network in a qualitative and cost effective manner including cross docking and merge in transit.
Freight Audit
Freight audit is the process of comparing the invoice elements with the actual data on the services bought as well as the agreed rates for these services.
