DHL Supply Chain 是美洲合同物流領(lǐng)域的，也是德國郵政 DHL 集團的一部分，該公司已部署控制塔解決方案，以支持 COVID-19 疫苗在北美和國際范圍內(nèi)的。該公司將提供定制技術(shù)和專門的專家團隊，以全天候執(zhí)行關(guān)鍵的物流功能，并提高從收到訂單到最終交付的整個供應鏈的可見性。上周處理了批貨物，DHL 供應鏈在計劃和向主要包裹承運商分配訂單方面提供支持，這些承運商負責在美國運送批疫苗，并監(jiān)控每個訂單直至最終目的地。

　　該解決方案利用 DHL Supply Chain 的運輸管理系統(tǒng)——一個單一的技術(shù)平臺，匯集了指導公司運輸運營所需的多種應用程序和流程——使疫苗制造商能夠從全球物流的先進技術(shù)和能力中受益。它包括專門為客戶開發(fā)的定制功能，以及對 MySupplyChain 等專有工具的訪問，它可以更好地控制訂單和運輸途中的貨物的實時可見性。

　　控制塔的另一個重要特點是位于賓夕法尼亞州堡的 DHL Supply Chain 生命科學運輸中心的專門團隊，控制塔將接待運輸規(guī)劃、運營工程、承運人管理和客戶服務方面的專家，他們將審查系統(tǒng)和數(shù)據(jù)來跟蹤性能和識別優(yōu)化機會，以及在端到端流程中監(jiān)控異常情況。

　　“在運輸能力嚴重受限的市場背景下，COVID-19 疫苗分發(fā)工作的緊迫性、敏感性、規(guī)模和復雜性產(chǎn)生了大量需要謹慎管理的風險。大部分注意力都集中在 COVID-19 疫苗的物理運輸上，但在幕后需要付出巨大努力來管理數(shù)據(jù)以及協(xié)調(diào)和優(yōu)化整個過程，”運輸總裁 Jim Monkmeyer 說， DHL 北美供應鏈?！?i>'我們的托管運輸服務消除了成功分發(fā)疫苗的許多界限。

　　在全球范圍內(nèi)，DHL 有能力支持預計將在 2021 年進入更廣泛流通的不同疫苗的。該公司擁有超過 9,000 名經(jīng)過認證的生命科學和醫(yī)療保健專家，擁有約 140 個生命科學分級設(shè)施和 100 多個空運生命科學和醫(yī)療保健能力中心。DHL 的快遞和全球貨運部門已經(jīng)參與了一些國際首批疫苗的物流配送。DHL Supply Chain 在北美的控制塔解決方案也計劃支持疫苗在美國以外的國際，因為該地區(qū)其他國家/地區(qū)已批準使用。

　　DHL Express, the world’s leading provider of international express shipping services, is preparing for a successful holiday peak season, expecting to see a nearly 50% increase in inbound volume to the Americas region over last year’s season. This volume growth, which is mostly due to the exponential rise in e-commerce, is concentrated in the U.S which accounts for more than 70% of the total inbound volume in the region and projects more than 50% growth.

　　The peak season, which is defined as the period between Black Friday and Christmas, is also expected to generate more than 20% more outbound volume in the region. In the U.S. alone, the outbound volume growth is expected to be at almost 30%.

　　“International trade has played an essential role for both businesses and individuals shopping online during this pandemic, and our solid global network, operational capacity and emphasis on customer centricity has allowed us to meet the growing demands of the market,” said Mike Parra, CEO for DHL Express Americas. “The value of global e-commerce has been reinforced, and we expect the resulting behavioral changes to continue driving an accelerated growth in global e-commerce.”

　　The global pandemic caused by the novel coronavirus accelerated the growth of e-commerce when entire countries went under and shoppers were left with online shopping as the only means to receive both personal and business supplies.

　　With holiday season-like numbers since June, DHL Express has been investing in pre-holiday season enhancements to meet higher demands for its services.
