SHENZHEN, CHINA - Media OutReach - 21 March 2017
-DHL Global Forwarding,
the leading international provider of air, sea and road freight services,
will transport remote-controlled helicopters, parts, and other hobbyist items
this year for Shenzhen Youkeshu Technologies, a major Chinese consumer
electronics exporter.
The deal will see DHL establish a dedicated 24/7 freight
control tower in Shenzhen to manage Shenzhen Youkeshu Technologies' shipments of
remote-controlled helicopters to more than 100 different countries; as well as providing
air, sea, and rail freight services to critical hubs in Asia, Europe, and the
United Kingdom. Shenzhen Youkeshu Technologies selected DHL to manage its growing
freight portfolio based on the extensiveness of its freight network coverage
and the professionalism of its operations personnel.
"With more than 100,000 sqm of warehouse storage for around
100,000 SKUs from 4,000 different suppliers, we needed a solutions provider who
could not only provide a wide range of forwarding modes and routes, but also manage
our complex space and delivery requirements in an effective and timely manner,"
said Marpo Wang, Vice President, Shenzhen Youkeshu Technology Co. Ltd. "We have
already worked with DHL for two years on a range of forwarding requirements and
have great trust in their ability to coordinate immense amounts of freight
traffic in an efficient and agile manner."
Under the new deal, DHL staff will also work closely with Shenzhen
Youkeshu Technologies' product and trade-lane teams to develop bespoke forwarding
services for its e-commerce division, one of the company's fastest-growing channels
for overseas sales.
"E-commerce has brought significantly more complexity to how
we manage factors like shipment volume, transit time, and cargo-ready dates, demanding
a great deal of agility to accurately meet constant swings in demand," added
Marpo Wang. "DHL's expertise and dedicated personnel will play a major role in developing
and adapting our strategy for B2B and B2C e-commerce fulfillment in overseas
markets, particularly as we continue to expand our product range with new
designs for drones and other unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs)."
"We're excited to be working with Shenzhen Youkeshu
Technologies to further grow their global market share and optimize their supply
chain for growing reliance on e-commerce," said Steve Huang, CEO, Greater
China, DHL Global Forwarding. "The consumer electronics business requires logistics
providers to quickly and efficiently handle fragile shipments en masse, and we're looking forward to applying
our global freight network to Shenzhen Youkeshu's extensive set of suppliers, customers,
and remote-controlled products that continue to grow every day."
