DHL eCommerce Solutions, a subsidiary of global logistics services provider Deutsche Post DHL Group, said that it's investing more than $300 million into its U.S.-based operations over the next five years. Company officials said that this investment will up the square footage of the DHL eCommerce Solutions network by 70%, to more than 3 million square feet. What's more, they said that this investment will also include more automation-based services in its U.S. distribution center facilities, as well as make enhancements to its IT operating system platform. "These investments will provide more tracking events for better visibility of shipment progress and estimated day of delivery, in addition to higher levels of reliability and certainty for on-time delivery," said Lee Spratt, CEO of DHL eCommerce Solutions, Americas. "Also, it will allow DHL eCommerce Solutions to lower costs, due to higher levels of automation, especially later in the equipment's lifecycle, as the cost of labor will inevitably increase. The investment also provides customers with simpler integration with DHL to begin shipping." |
