Case Study: DPDGroup UK Ltd achieves smarter asset management with Performa IT

DPDGroup UK Ltd transforms asset tracking for 50,000 equipment items with Performa IT

DPDGroup UK Ltd, a major parcel delivery business with 22,000 employees and approximately 50,000 pieces of equipment, faced significant challenges in managing its assets. The company was relying on disparate and unmanageable Google spreadsheets, which made it impossible to track equipment location and usage, leading to lost assets and high hidden administrative costs. To address this, they engaged Performa IT to implement a customized Salesforce Asset Management solution.

Performa IT delivered a bespoke Salesforce solution featuring barcode scanning for mobile tracking, automated depreciation calculations, and "Missing in Action" alerts. This provided a single, true view of all assets and streamlined their entire lifecycle. The results were highly successful, significantly reducing lost equipment, recouping costs, and increasing administrative efficiency by turning weeks of manual work into minutes. DPDGroup UK also benefited from improved purchase forecasting and enhanced corporate social responsibility through the managed donation of obsolete equipment.
