Dhl Supply Chain EDI overview

Dhl Supply Chain EDI is the structured exchange of commercial documents between Dhl Supply Chain and businesses working in freight, transport, warehouse and delivery operations. The agreed document set starts with orders and invoices, with the operational emphasis on keeping order and invoice records aligned across operational teams.
