(Jamaica Gleaner) DHL Express has launched a new Internet portal as part of its thrust to upgrade its technological platform to facilitate online shipping, the latest move geared especially towards small and medium-sized enterprises.
General manager of DHL Express Barbados, Maureen Singh, said that with the new portal, called My DHL, customers will have greater control over password management, and will have access to a broad range of international services.
She said applications that can be accessed on the portal include DHL web shipping international, a solution which allows customers to create invoices, print export labels, coordinate collections, store addresses and monitor shipments.
Also accessible are DHL import express online, which effectively coordinates communications between importers and exporters, giving them full control over their accounts, as well as DHL ProView, which offers customers a detailed report of each action during the shipment process and automatically reports the status via email or through text messages.
THE LAST STEP
In a release out of Barbados, Singh was quoted as also saying that “This portal is the last step we were missing to offer small and medium enterprises a full proposal that will help this sector in particular.”
Customers are required to register at www.dhl.com/mydhl to access the service.
The release said importers and exporters will continue to use global applications such as WebShipping, Import Express Online and ProView. “Changes to the functionality or capacity of these applications have not been made; they have only become easier to use and access,” the release said.
