Deutsche Post

Deutsche Post has evolved from a national mail and parcel service provider into a global logistics group, which is reflected in the group's new name, Deutsche Post World Net. The company operates through its Mail, Express, Logistics, and Financial Services corporate divisions and is strongly committed to e-business activities.

With 450 delivery bases, 2 million parcels a day, and 80,000 business customers in Germany alone, Deutsche Post needed to quickly and efficiently track the flood of data flowing through its vast operations, so it called upon Teradata. Since implementing Teradata's solution, Deutsche Post has moved beyond the limitations of disparate databases into a true data warehouse environment. With a data warehouse in place, Deutsche Post is improving its tracking of parcels, sharpening its delivery times, increasing customer retention and beefing up products and services to meet customers' needs.
