Sector manager Automotive about the sector

In the roaring car industry, a major shift has been taking place in recent years. Where most companies first focused purely on B2B, attention is now growing for freelancers and consumers. At the same time, at DHL eCommerce, we are well on our way to emission-free transport and clean delivery solutions, such as electric vans and bicycles. This transition brings great opportunities. But how do you best grab it? Our proposal: step in, then we will take you with us.

TAILOR-MADE SERVICE? DHL ECOMMERCE KNOWS THE DIMENSIONS

My first tip: in order to optimally serve different markets, you should always think from the target group. A dealer wants to have orders in-house early, so that his mechanics can get started right away. And he wants lightning-fast service if he misses an important part in between. Self-employed people who tinker with cars in the evening hours are not waiting for parts during the day. However, on delivery after office hours or at a parcel machine around the corner. And the consumer? He expects the flawless service he is used to: smart delivery options, choice of time slots and crystal clear communication around the delivery. In short, everyone has their own wishes.

MAKE ROOM FOR THE FUTURE

There is another trend in this market, to which DHL eCommerce contributes significantly: stocks are increasingly limited. Good news, because as long as those things are there, they cost space and money. Smart logistics is the solution for this. How does that work? We fine-tune the supply, and deliver quickly based on current demand. In this way we save our customers a lot of costs in management.

In addition, this strategy provides physical space, which sometimes even creates beautiful expansion opportunities. Thanks to DHL eCommerce's huge network, we are always nearby and can deliver quickly, at the lowest possible cost. Whether it's pallets full of headlights or a box of coveted nuts: we'll make sure you have it, if you need it.
