Case Study: Deutsche Post DHL Group achieves warehouse digitalization and cost efficiencies with Zebra Technologies

Europe's Largest Postal Company Implements a Wide Range of Zebra Mobile Solutions and Services to Optimize and Standardize Deliveries

DHL, a global market leader in transport and logistics with roughly 1,400 sites and 12.5 million m² of warehouse space, is pursuing digitalization as the backbone of its Strategy 2025. The company faces a complex, varied estate with isolated systems, visibility gaps, labor shortages, rising workflow complexity and intense competition from disruptors like Amazon—making it urgent to modernize warehouses, yards and delivery networks without disrupting operations.

Zebra Technologies — a 20+ year partner — recommends a phased, prioritized approach using its Warehouse Maturity Model to assess sites, run targeted pilots and roll out solutions that span wearables and mobile computing, robotics, RFID and SmartPack, MotionWorks, FulfillmentEdge and Savanna data services. By matching technology to maturity stage, DHL can accelerate adoption with measurable results: lower costs, higher worker productivity and faster training, fewer errors, real-time asset and inventory visibility, improved customer experience and a stronger competitive position.
