Customer Program Management Add value to logistics
Add value to logistics Hand in hand with the opportunities offered by globalisation for companies that operate on a worldwide basis, there has also been an increase in the complexity of the supply chain and the movement of materials along it. In order to provide customers with a higher overall degree of transparency and control throughout transactions, DHL Danzas Air & Ocean offers a range of unique value-adding services linked primarily to international transportation in the form of Customer Program Management (CPM). Operating within a worldwide network of dedicated CPM Control Towers, Customer Program Management provides experienced, customer processfocused Programme Managers, Supply Chain Managers, and Supply Chain Coordinators with an extensive toolkit of applications. These applications have been bundled and integrated to support varying degrees of supply chain complexity within three distinct categories. Customer Program Management manages logistics-related data, integrated logistics processes and data visibility from inception to completion of customer transactions. In addition, CPM implements new customer-facing processes and supplychain process improvements.
