August 23, 2019: DHL SmarTrucking has partnered with VKL Seasoning & Flavours, a flagship company of VKL Food Solutions Enterprise to transport their products across India.
Incorporated under the Deutsche Post DHL (DPDHL) Group’s corporate incubations division, DHL SmarTrucking provides customised solutions for dry as well as cold chain road transport.
In addition to employing smart technology to ensure vehicle placement and reduction in lead time, DHL SmarTrucking leverages internet of things (IoT) technology and data-driven insights for route optimisation to shorten transit times.
Nizam Najeeb, senior executive - logistics, VKL Seasonings & Flavours, said, “Since our inception in Kerala, we have evolved from being whole spice traders to becoming one of the country’s largest seasoning and flavour solution provider.
As their services extend across India, we are getting great support from DHL SmarTrucking for our dry as well as cold chain shipments, across our key routes, which is helping us reduce our shipment transit times.
For example, we have reduced the transit time from Kochi to Delhi from 6 days to 4-5 days.
