DHL Global Mail introduces TMS technology

The new TMS will provide DHL Global Mail with unprecedented shipment visibility within its network, which will benefit customers through improved tracking capabilities.

DHL Global Mail will implement Transportation Management System (TMS) technology.

DHL Global Mail’s TMS is an advanced software system for managing
shipments between pickup and delivery, as well as the company’s relationships with transportation partners in its vast delivery network.

The new TMS will provide DHL Global Mail with unprecedented shipment visibility within its network, which will benefit customers through improved tracking capabilities. The system will also enhance DHL Global Mail’s ability to identify opportunities for cost and operational efficiencies. This advantage will help keep down mailing costs for DHL Global Mail customers, who are already saving on postage by partnering with the mail expediter.

The first phase of the TMS project, implemented late last year, covers transportation between DHL Global Mail’s 17 strategically located mail terminals throughout North America. Under the second phase, the functionality of the new TMS will encompass customer pickups and USPS deliveries. The third and final phase will extend the functionality of this powerful software to mail and parcels sent by DHL Global Mail customers in the U.S. to international destinations.
