DHL Supply Chain launched a generative AI tool to streamline data cleansing. Used by the Solutions Design team, this tool processes incoming customer data, ensuring it is clean and sorted. DHL’s technicians can then design logistics solutions more efficiently. This AI-driven approach reduces time-to-market while boosting accuracy. Markus Voss, Global Chief Development Officer, highlighted its role in enhancing productivity. Developed with BCG X, the tool showcases DHL’s focus on operational excellence.

These applications enhance operational efficiency while ensuring a seamless experience. Sally Miller, Global CIO, stated that AI-driven tools not only optimize processes but also deepen analytics capabilities, unlocking customer value and fostering loyalty.
These AI applications were developed in collaboration with BCG X, Boston Consulting Group’s tech arm. DHL’s dedicated generative AI team ensures solutions are customer-focused and future-ready. Markus Voss noted the exploration of AI in other operational areas to maintain DHL’s leadership in logistics innovation. By embedding generative AI into business processes, DHL reinforces its customer-centric approach and operational excellence.
