The first customers are using the DACHSER Platform for their day-to-day business

The first customers have been working with the DACHSER Platform since the end of August last year. After several intensive test phases, real customer data is now flowing through the system. This way, we learn daily which of the platform’s features are working smoothly and where there is a need for individual adjustments. The feedback helps to improve the platform step by step.
Since August 2023, around 500 air export customers have had access to the platform and can handle their day-to-day business digitally.
The DACHSER Platform combines the services of our Road Logistics and Air & Sea Logistics business fields in a user-friendly, modern interface. After an intensive development and test phase, the first version of the digital platform is now live with basic functions for Air Export. Since August 2023, around 500 Air Export customers have had access to the platform and can handle their day-to-day business digitally. The resulting data and customer feedback will be used to develop the platform further.

Real-time data for targeted optimization

Since the start of development in May 2022, the DACHSER Platform has been developed iteratively and in direct exchange with customers. In intensive research and test phases, our team identified user needs and gathered feedback on product designs. “Our customers were happy with the onboarding process – as they are with the platform itself. Thanks to its intuitive user interface, customers can familiarize themselves with the DACHSER Platform independently and immediately test the live version”, says Nicole Roedele, Project Manager Digital Sales ASL at DACHSER.

The active use of the DACHSER Platform generates valuable real-time data from day-to-day business, which helps the development team to draw conclusions for the further development of the platform. In a low-threshold feedback process, customers can provide feedback on user-friendliness, design, and functions. The constructive feedback can be given via the platform or directly to the DACHSER contact persons. Thanks to this real-time data, the development team can optimize the platform’s functions in an even more targeted manner and adapt workflows where necessary.

What’s next? In 2024, the DACHSER Platform will be expanded step by step in order to map the entire DACHSER service offering digitally and to make it available in an integrated manner.

COVID-19 update: Impact on DACHSER’s operations in India

Due to the outbreak of second wave of Coronavirus, we would like to give you an update about the impact on DACHSER’s operations in India. The situation as of today, April 28, 2021, is as follow:

DACHSER branches in India

  • Most branch offices across India are being kept closed as a precautionary measure due to the sudden rise of COVID cases. Our teams are working from home, with only skeletal staff at the offices and hence there are likely to be delays in responses due to the ongoing crisis.
  • As a consequence of the lockdown, there are some operational impacts for air, sea, customs clearance and domestic trucking.

Air freight

  • Most countries have barred passenger traffic from India leading to no passenger carrying flights operating on International routes from/to India.
  • This has created some additional constraint on already stressed space availability situation.
  • Rates are bound to inch upwards for all sectors.
  • Transit times too have increased as a consequence of capacity crunch.

Sea freight

  • Sea freight was already facing the challenges due to the Suez Canal blockage end of March.
  • Ports and terminals are functioning normally, but vessel schedules are impacted on account of the Suez Canal blockage as well as the sudden rise of COVID cases in India.
  • Delays, roll overs are expected. Customers are advised to factor in delays of 1-2 weeks while planning their inventories.
  • Expect more delays in communication or operations due to increasing COVID infections among staff at ports, customs, CFS and shipping lines.

Customs

  • We do not have any unexpected disruptions in cargo movement in India, nor is any work stoppage expected at present.
  • Customs clearance activities are functional at the movement.
  • Customs is working with less manpower, no Customs Brokers is allowed to meet the customs officials, all processes is done faceless and things are moving in slow phase.

At DACHSER, we have undertaken significant measures to ensure our employees’ health and safety, at the same time continue to manage our day-to-day operations with minimal impact to our customers’ supply chains. Our teams are working diligently by all possible means in these testing times to assist and to overcome the challenges being faced.

Please rest assured that we will keep you updated of any changes to the current situation. hould you have any concerns and/or queries, please feel free to contact your local DACHSER representative in the region.
