Optimized Management of roll containers
Fewer losses. More control. DPD Switzerland relies on BOX ID for intelligent asset tracking. With IoT technology and automated inventory planning, roll container management becomes more efficient, transparent, and future-proof.
Loss of load carriers without asset tracking
With over 1,000 DPD Pickup parcelshops and 13 depots, DPD (Switzerland) AG operates a comprehensive network for national and international shipping solutions. The service also includes roll containers for more than 4,500 business customers. However, these containers, worth €600–700, regularly disappeared from the customer cycle without asset tracking.
The lack of transparency made it impossible to know how many containers were with customers, how long they had been standing there unused, or whether they were intact. In addition, customers used surplus containers for other purposes.
The consequences: missing containers, inaccurate inventory management, and increasing planning costs. Although the procurement quantity was known, there was no process reliability regarding actual use and condition.
Simplicity as the key to efficient logistics processes
Reliable inventory overviews are generated automatically, eliminating the need for manual entries, paper, and training. Thanks to the unique ID of each roll container, inventory at customers and in hubs can now be checked at any time. Predefined thresholds trigger timely restocking before shortages occur.
