As a best-in-class third-party logistics provider for some of the world\u2019s leading consumer electronics organizations, DCL Logistics continues to provide cutting-edge tools and technologies that provide virtually flawless operational execution in the delivery of our customers\u2019 shipments. One of those technologies is DCL\u2019s proprietary order fulfillment and inventory management platform: <\/span>eFactory<\/span><\/a><\/span>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>
\nThrough eFactory, DCL clients can manage and monitor their entire order fulfillment and inventory process in one place. It provides real-time insights into operational KPIs and performance at all seven DCL Logistics\u2019 fulfillment locations.<\/span><\/p>\n

What are Dangerous Goods?<\/h2>\n

Regulation and compliance requires potentially hazardous goods to be properly classified, packaged, marked, and labeled before they are shipped and moved as freight. These goods can vary widely, but include lithium batteries, and battery powered devices, aerosols, oxygen cylinders, and flammable materials. Because many consumer electronics have lithium batteries included, and a large majority of DCL Logistics\u2019 companies products are consumer electronics, DCL is well-versed in the procedures to correctly and safely transport dangerous goods. <\/span><\/p>\n

New Feature in eFactory: Dangerous Goods Data Management<\/h2>\n

Just launched in DCL\u2019s eFactory app is a simple way to track specifically dangerous goods products. DCL clients can now see and archive all of the necessary specifications that will govern how DCL Logistics will ship these specific products that must comply with critical and stringent regulations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Once a product has a designated SKU number and is cited \u201cDangerous Goods\u201d (DG) within DCL\u2019s enterprise resource planning (ERP), it will be trackable in the eFactory portal. Companies who use eFactory will have visibility on all DG specifications, and can sort and track data for all SKUs that are categorized by battery category, battery configuration, or battery type.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The data contained in DCL\u2019s eFactory Dangerous Goods Data Management Tool integrates with DCL\u2019s iVerify tool on our fulfillment lines. When the order is scanned at the fulfillment verify station, instructions are immediately provided to the operator that informs the operator what Dangerous Goods labeling needs to be applied to each individual outbound package.<\/span><\/p>\n

What DCL Clients are Saying About eFactory<\/b><\/h2>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been very pleased with eFactory, in terms of its ease of use and the reporting that\u2019s available through it. It\u2019s a user friendly tool, and it\u2019s the way I would expect logistics to work in this day and age. There haven\u2019t been many times when I\u2019ve needed some information and not been able to find it in eFactory.\u201d COO, Jens Voges, Gate Labs<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cDCL had more modern tools and more of a growth-based, forward-looking business model than some other 3PLs we visited. It was clear that they are a company who is constantly improving, and looking for the next way they can grow their business, and that\u2019s what we want in a partner.\u201d Moxxly CEO, Cara Delzer\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
