Transparent international clearing through big data analytics
The daily delivery of more than three million parcels and the handling of over 500 cross-border transports in 35 countries require efficient clearing. Dastani Consulting has developed an intuitive system that increases transparency and simplifies internal billing so that each national company is billed fairly and accurately.
Identification of cost drivers through innovative clearing software
The new software enables additional costs to be identified quickly, e.g. due to incomplete delivery information. Over 100 employees in controlling and accounting benefit from the high data quality and intuitive usability of the system, which reacts flexibly to changes in business operations.
Successful partnership with Dastani Consulting
The agile approach of Dr. Parsis Dastani and his team has made it possible to implement the needs of DPDgroup precisely in software. The collaboration led to innovative ideas that simplify clearing and make it more secure. Catherine Pellaumail, European Operations Development Manager at DPDgroup, emphasizes the successful introduction of the system, which has significantly improved internal communication within the organization.
This switch to big data analytics marks a turning point for DPDgroup, as it not only increases internal efficiency, but also increases the satisfaction and confidence of the individual national companies in the clearing process.
The international DPDgroup is number two in the European parcel market, shipping three million parcels a day. At over 800 locations, 26,000 employees are at work for 360,000 customers. The service provider offers a simple, convenient and flexible service for B2B and B2C parcel shipping. To this end, it consistently focuses on the needs and circumstances of all customers and recipients. This makes it the innovation leader in delivery to private recipients. One example of this is the Predict service, which is unique in the industry and features map-based live tracking, a wide range of options for redirecting a parcel and a delivery time window that is accurate to one hour.
