Case Study: DB Schenker achieves streamlined warehouse operations and a 60% reduction in troubleshooting resources with Cisco Meraki

Enhancing productivity with integrated network communications solutions

DB Schenker, a global logistics and supply chain provider with over 750 warehouses in 50 countries and more than 1,000,000 tons of air freight transported annually, needed to simplify network management at its flagship Red Lion hub in Singapore. Legacy, siloed Wi‑Fi and switching systems made monitoring, troubleshooting and enforcing safety measures slow and resource‑intensive, so DB Schenker turned to Cisco Meraki’s cloud‑managed Meraki platform (MR access points, MS switches, MX security appliances) to modernize its warehouse networking.

Cisco Meraki centralized management via a single dashboard and the Meraki app, deploying MR, MS and MX across 90% of DB Schenker’s Singapore sites, including Red Lion. The solution made each access point independent, cut troubleshooting from hours to minutes, reduced resources spent on troubleshooting by 60%, and freed staff to focus on operations and SLA delivery—results DB Schenker plans to extend across more warehouses with further Cisco Meraki technologies.
