Inbound-to-Operations (MRO)

Our global reach allows DHL to expedite, collect and consolidate supplies from multiple national and international suppliers, reducing the complexity and cost of the supply chain and streamlining the flow of materials and information into your operation. Centralized supply also gives you greater materials traceability and visibility and greater control of your costs. These services extend to support not only single or multiple site or plant operations, but also distributed networks of engineers in the field, serving transmission and distribution networks for utilities such as electricity, gas and water.

DHL designs inbound-to-operations solutions only after we become deeply familiar with your facilities, practices and needs. Our recommendations are based on our proven expertise and experience in designing optimized supply chain networks for energy businesses like yours. DHL aims to provide a customized solution that delivers efficiencies in cost, process and time.

Inbound-to-operations transportation solutions include supplier sweep (milk) runs, dedicated fleet for pick up and delivery and expedited transportation procurement. DHL focuses on speed and efficiency while emphasizing HSSE to ensure cost-effective, on time, safe and secure delivery.

DHL focuses on running the leanest possible warehouses and storing materials in the most efficient locations both on and offsite. We use techniques such as cross docking, offsite order consolidation and priority sorting to help reduce your supply chain costs while giving you greater visibility into your supply chain.
