Fujitsu has formed a strategic co-creation partnership with DHL Supply Chain UK to develop new services based on wearable technology and the Internet of Things (IoT). “Building on its successful managed procurement services collaboration with DHL, which provides a new business approach to procurement solutions including uniform and protective equipment, Fujitsu will share its industry and technology expertise to jointly develop innovative solutions that improve safety for emergency services, whilst delivering operational efficiencies,” the company said. The partnership will also be used to drive the creation of entirely new markets in other sectors, such as airline logistics.
In what is said to be a first for the logistics industry, the DHL solution provides a personalised supply chain for emergency and other uniformed services, supported by Fujitsu’s electronic commerce platform. The concept reduces the cost of product and supply chain management, while facilitating innovation and delivering a user friendly, personalised experience for individuals.
