Procurement - Purchasing White Papers

DHL Accelerates Purchasing Process for Expected 20-Month ROI

Overview In 1969, DHL pioneered international express shipping. Today, it is a world leader in the field, relying on efficient logistics to serve 635,000 cities in more than 220 countries. It aimed at better qualification of suppliers, automating processing of purchasing requests and optimizing entire purchasing function. DHL has been an Oracle Financials user for several years, and it keeps an eye on new product releases from Oracle. The introduction of Oracle iProcurement led DHL to reconsider its purchasing process; implementing this solution offered an opportunity to reorganize and rationalize purchasing. Oracle iProcurement has resulted in significant time savings for the purchasing department.
