DPD expands its express services in Germany
DPD is increasing its commitment to express shipping with a range of new service options and additional productfeatures. To provide customers with a maximum level of flexibility DPD has, since 1 April, been offering a wide spectrum of new express services.
The resulting total of 122 possible combinations now enables DPD to optimise its new express service, a development which began on 1 February when the CEP service provider launched its new 8:30 express delivery and Saturday service – the initial phase of an ongoing process to extend the companys existing 10:00 and 12:00 services.
With our express offer we are responding to the very varied needs of our customers, ensuring that we have the right service for every customer requirement, explains CEO Hans Fluri.
DPD provides the full spectrum of modern express shipping – from the ID check to confirm the consignees identity and pick-up and exchange options, via ad-hoc shipments and delivery to specific departments, right down to a proactive text messaging service. With this enhanced service portfolio the parcel service provider is positioning itself firmly in one of the strongest growth segments of the CEP market.
DPD is expanding its service range on the basis of tried and tested quality factors: uncomplicated and efficient operational processing and closeness to the customer. Because we operate in close contact with our customers and know exactly what they want our new express services will enable us to conquer the market, is Mr Fluris conviction. This express expansion with its targeted movement into new core segments is an important stage in our growth strategy.
