DHL offering new tracking from Latin America
DHL Global Forwarding Consolidated Distribution Service (CDS), which provides inbound U.S. customs brokerage services from Latin American and other international markets, is now offer a 'virtual warehouse' service with point-to-point tracking capabilities.
DHL said CDS speeds shipments through lengthening international supply chains, eliminating the need for a costly distribution center.
'With CDS, bulk shipments sent from overseas can be broken down and inducted directly into the DHL US Express or Global Forwarding network for final delivery to the end consumer, bypassing time-consuming warehouse stops,' a company statement said.
With Web-based tracking, DHL customers can get full visibility of their goods through the CDS service, from point of production to point of purchase.
'By linking the unique capabilities of DHL's heavyweight and express operations, we have created a virtual moving warehouse for customers in the air or over water,' said Bruce Grout, senior vice president of DHL Global Forwarding CDS.
