what3words has revolutionized location accuracy for deliveries with its innovative global addressing system, assigning a unique three-word combination to every 3x3 meter square on Earth. The system provides a precise, easy-to-use, and universal method for describing locations.
what3Words adds significant value to the logistics industry by solving a common problem: the lack of precise, reliable, and easy-to-communicate addresses. In areas without standardized addressing systems or where addresses are complex and confusing, this innovative logistics solution can significantly enhance the efficiency of last-mile delivery operations, ensuring that goods and services reach their exact destination.
If you live in a country where postal addresses are standard, you may wonder how useful this technology really is. But our teams have found it very helpful in both rural and urban areas.
By working with what3words, we can add pinpoint precision to postal addresses and streamline the delivery process in areas lacking developed address systems. DHL customers in the UK can add their what3words address to their delivery preferences in the DHL Parcel App. Online shops can also capture a what3words address from customers and pass it to DHL eCommerce UK alongside other address information by adding a what3words field to checkout. In addition to the UK, we’re currently rolling out the technology in other countries, such as with BlueDart DHL in India.
