DHL awarded Sun deal

DHL has been selected by Sun Microsystems to manage all of the company’s supply chain activities including after-sales logistics. Under an agreement signed between the two companies, DHL will manage the spare-and-repair logistics operations for Sun’s network infrastructure in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Kuwait and Egypt.

With DHL serving as the sole point of contact between Sun customers and suppliers, the network infrastructure solutions provider will be able to increase productivity, reduce cost and ensure faster spare parts turnaround.

In the UAE alone, DHL will be shipping all of Sun’s urgent deliveries in the country, with a delivery time ranging between two to four hours.

In addition, some 300 strategic parts in the two UAE-based spare parts centres will be shipped as same-day orders to over 75 premium customers, and supporting over 15 Sun engineers in the Emirates.

All parts deliveries originating from the main Sun Microsystems warehouse in Venlo, Netherlands, will be transported to the region using various DHL services, such as air freight and Express.

The DHL spare parts centres in Dubai, Muscat, Riyadh, Dhahran, Kuwait City and Abu Dhabi will make sure that these parts are delivered to Sun’s end customer, within two to four hours of placing the order.

DHL’s extensive network, warehouse facilities and services across the Middle East will allow Sun to have total control over, and visibility of, their product stock.

DHL Express product and business development manager Dirk van Doorn said that utilising DHL’s advanced technology and global expertise will help Sun to achieve and maintain an optimal supply chain for delivering important parts to its end customers.

“By outsourcing its inventory and distribution functions to DHL, Sun Microsystems will be able to focus on its core strengths, increase visibility, reduce cost and improve the overall efficiency of its supply chain in the Middle East. DHL will act as a single supplier managing all aspects of Sun’s supply chain including customs clearance,” said van Doorn.
