Logistics

Logistics Providers constitute the backbone of the manufacturing industries, ensuring a steady supply of material into and out of the world’s factories.

In a world of just-in-time and just-in-synch manufacturing strategies, of lean business processes in which inventories are synonymous with waste, of consumer expectations for instant gratification and zero tolerance for stock outs the importance of having things where they need to be, when they are needed cannot be overstated.

Yet the smooth movement of goods through the supply chain is fully dependent on the ability of all involved to exchange information.  Any interruption to that flow of information is quickly felt downstream in the form of delays, added cost, broken promises and disappointed customers. 

BT works with leading Logistics Providers to enable, secure and manage their information flows.  Providing them with real time visibility of supply chain information and enabling them to communicate and collaborate across complex commercial ecosystems without regard to organizational, geographic or systems boundaries.  We have deployed a wide range of network services on behalf of our clients, helping them to reduce cost and maximize efficiencies.  And our specialist expertise - across a range of areas, from messaging to ports management - has enabled BT clients to address complex business challenges with cost effective, network based solutions.

With its track record in managed services, BT demonstrated that they are in the best position to deliver such a large and complex project for Deutsche Post DHL throughout Asia Pacific in a cost effective way"
