BONN, GERMANY – Media OutReach – May 19,
2020
– DHL Global Forwarding, Deutsche Post DHL Group’s air and ocean freight
specialist, has launched myDHLi, the only
fully integrated online platform for freight forwarding customers. myDHLi’s
highly intuitive user interface makes it easy to use and ensures that customers
have all relevant information at hand. Reflecting already well established
social media functions like follow and share, relevant information can be
easily accessed across organizations and trading partners. Completely
transparent management of freight rates, offers, transport modes, carbon
emissions, and all other relevant shipment data is readily available with just
a few clicks and can be displayed in detailed analyses and reports. One of the
most unique aspects is the benefit of full visibility and control over all
shipping and transport modes, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

“Despite accelerating digitalization and
super-fast connectivity customers have a need for reduced complexity. And that
is exactly what our tool does,” says Tim Scharwath, CEO DHL Global Forwarding,
Freight. “We have created a one-stop customer portal that is tailored to the
needs of our customers. By combining services like online quotation and booking
with shipment tracking, document accessibility, and data analyses we are
creating not only 360-degrees visibility, but also have laid the foundation for
customers to manage their logistics — anytime and anywhere. We strongly believe
that digitalization bears the potential to ease and improve the daily business
of shippers and freight forwarders simultaneously. This is even truer during
unpredictable and challenging times such as those we are currently facing with
COVID-19, and which might now act as an accelerator for digitizing the
industry. That is what digitalization means to us and why we made it a
cornerstone of our strategy 2025.”

 

The platform merges existing online services
like myDHLi Quote + Book and myDHLi Analytics with new services and features,
and incorporates them into one innovative platform. Services like a very
efficient search capability enhance the user experience. On top, developed completely
in-house, the new tracking service uses end-to-end information to make
shipments across air and ocean visible nearly in real-time. This gives users
complete control — from pick-up to final delivery. The service also offers raw
data Excel extracts. Another new feature is myDHLi Documents, which offers
quick and easy access to downloadable shipment documents. All documents — quotes,
commercial invoice, packing list, house bill, invoice, proof of delivery, etc.
— are stored in one place. The designers adapted a mobile-first approach for
seamless use on all devices. Built-in popular social media features like follow
and share functions simplify communication along the supply chain by enabling
customers to exchange information with colleagues, customers and suppliers. Furthermore,
data can be easily analyzed and exported or directly integrated to own systems,
based on a suite of APIs.

 

myDHLi features a modular build-up. Users
can individualize their portal by selecting the specific services they want.
Thanks to the single sign-on registration process, all services are available
from the beginning. No additional registration or sign-in processes are needed.
myDHLi is free of charge for all DHL Global Forwarding customers.

The launch begins with a pilot phase including
selected customers from five continents (North America, Europe, Asia,
Australia, Africa). myDHLi is being rolled out in waves to ensure a smooth region-by-region
transition. Interested customers can register for onboarding to myDHLi. Regular
updates based on customer feedback will be shared. The previous customer portal,
DHLi, will be available until the myDHLi roll-out is complete.

 

DHL Global Forwarding, Freight is
continuously working on new services to offer its customers a state-of-the-art
experience — all in line with Deutsche Post DHL Group’s Strategy 2025 goal of “Delivering
Excellence in a Digital World.”
