Delivering Excellence to the Technology Sector
At DHL, we have expertise in different technology sub-sectors which help us to develop tailored solutions addressing the customer needs.
Consumer Electronics
In the globalized consumer electronics arena, time to market is critical, no matter where they are in the world. We focus on managing the distribution, warehousing and delivery of products in this highly competitive, customer-centric sector. Our integrated solutions offer simplicity, agility, and visibility and drive best-in-class customer experiences.
Our Expertise
Infrastructure Equipment
Infrastructure Equipment is the foundation of our interconnected world. Our logistics services are designed to support our customers in managing the flow of network equipment, whatever the size, from the point of origin to its final destination. We recognize that achieving the precision transportation of this valuable equipment requires technical expertise and alignment with your specific requirements. DHL provides a suite of solutions, from optimized distribution of networking hardware, streamlining of spare parts inventory management to field service logistics with route optimization and efficient reverse logistics for faulty equipment. This is supported by comprehensive project logistics for large-scale deployments, global trade compliance and data security. Our flexible end-to-end solutions and a variety of aftermarket services support customers’ need for flexible, secure, and compliant logistics.
Our Expertise
Semiconductors
It is difficult to imagine a more complex production process than that of the semiconductor industry. It can require more than 1,000 separate processing steps, 70 or more border crossings, and 12 countries to produce a single chip. Supply chains must support the process at each stage, from delivery of capital equipment and silicon wafer fabrication to assembly, testing, and final distribution. Our integrated suite of semiconductor solutions and services supports customers across the entire value chain with a zero-defects mindset and focus on providing end-to-end supply chain visibility.

Key Trends
At DHL, we take technology trend research seriously and work closely with our customers and the sector in the spirit of what we continue to call participatory knowledge.
Digitalization
There are very few topics that are more important for technology companies than digitalization. Over the past years, all technology industries have accelerated their digitalization initiatives. At DHL, we focus on supply chain digitalization to create end-to-end (E2E) visibility and apply data-driven optimization based on advanced data analytics and artificial intelligence applications. We enable increased connectivity through IoT sensors, supply chain automation, leveraging technologies such as robotics and augmented reality, and ensure the E2E security of your supply chains.
Sustainability
Sustainability plays an important role for technology companies with ambitious environmental goals; some aim to be carbon-neutral as early as 2030. Technology companies are actively seeking to reduce their environmental footprint while ensuring the resilience and effectiveness of their global supply chains. DHL supports this with a wide variety of sustainability solutions ranging from transparency about carbon emissions through supply chain optimization to offering alternative and sustainable fuels. We will help you find the best sustainability enhancements for your global supply chains while ensuring their optimum functionality, resilience, and effectiveness. Our specific solutions range from eco-friendly packaging materials and design to electronic waste management through responsible recycling and refurbishment programs. We focus on energy-efficient warehousing and distribution centers and compliance with stringent environmental standards.
E-commerce
E-commerce has become the most important sales and fulfilment channel for many technology companies. E-commerce creates new opportunities and challenges, including managing peak volumes, dealing with the complexity of cross-border shipments, and ensuring the security of online transactions. DHL provides dedicated e-commerce solutions, including omnichannel fulfilment, transport and last-mile deliveries, all driven by advanced control and visibility systems and customer-friendly delivery options.
Circular Economy
The Circular Economy plays an increasingly important role for technology companies, many of which are looking to transition to a Device-as-a-Service business model. This allows manufacturers to extend the product lifecycle and reduce waste and environmental impact while simultaneously creating an additional revenue stream. DHL works closely with our customers to support their circular economy activities by providing solutions to return, repair, and refurbish the devices before transporting them to the new owner. We facilitate the responsible and sustainable management of technology products throughout their lifecycle.
Supply Chain Resilience
Supply Chain Resilience means planning for the unforeseen. Disruptions to business and the economy are increasingly common and costly. Through our extensive worldwide network, local expertise, access to transportation capacity, and experience in managing supply chain disruptions, we can help our customers make their supply chains more resilient and support them in their times of need. Across the technology sector, supply chain resilience is not just a competitive advantage but a strategic imperative.
