Creating a more efficient and agile delivery operation at DPD Netherlands

The challenge: Creating greater flexibility across logistics planning operations

DPD Netherlands is one of the leading parcel delivery providers in the Netherlands and part of the international Geopost network - Europe’s largest parcel delivery ecosystem. Operating through a nationwide network and connected to more than 50 countries, DPD handles large parcel volumes daily and plays a critical role in e-commerce and last-mile delivery across Europe.
