The expansion of the DHL Fulfilment Network (DFN), DHL Supply Chain has now commissioned its fourth dedicated e-commerce warehouse in Germany. The fulfilment warehouse in Euskirchen will store, pick and pack orders from both large small and medium-sized customers before shipping them within Germany, Europe or even to the rest of the world.
“All companies, whatever their size, deserve first-class fulfilment. We have already helped numerous companies from a broad range of sectors to grow their online business in various different markets,” said Vice President of DHL Fulfilment Network, Andreas Bicking.
All customers benefit from an existing infrastructure that enables the integration of webshops and customer systems, as well as connection to a range of parcel service providers. In this way, new companies can quickly and easily be integrated into the network. In addition, DHL provides its customers with a wide range of data and digital tools, enabling them to drive their business with minimal effort.
This allows inventory to be managed, each order to be monitored and sales trends to be tracked. Furthermore, all DFN fulfilment centres are run by trained DHL employees.
The DFN model was developed in Germany and currently has a global network spanning 30 locations around the world. The new Euskirchen site has a total storage area of over 60,000 square meters and has excellent connections to parcel centres and both Cologne/ Bonn and Duesseldorf Airport.
Fluctuations in order numbers and inventory levels can be handled flexibly through specialist technology and dynamic staff deployment.
“And given the current growth in e-commerce, there is virtually no ceiling on the potential for our DHL Fulfilment Network. Our highly flexible infrastructure makes scaling and customising to our customers’ specific needs an easy task,” Bicking added.
