DSV Road Oy is part of the DSV Group, a global transport and freight forwarding company that employs 75,000 people in 90 countries. The company ethos is “anything anywhere” when taking care of its customers and their transportation, storage and logistics needs.

 

In the complex logistics business, data and technology play a critical role. In 2003 DSV Road began working with 3stepIT, transferring all IT hardware off the company balance sheet and adopting a comprehensive Lifecycle Management model.

 

DSV Road has thousands of devices acquired and managed using 3stepIT’s sustainable Lifecycle Management solution, including workstations, smartphones, servers, network equipment, scanners, and printers.

 

Through 3stepIT’s IT Asset Management platform, DSV Road now has a complete view of equipment costs and replacement intervals. This makes the budgeting process easy and predictable.

Challenges

  • Critical business need for modern, reliable technology

  • High data security requirements and sustainability criteria, including carbon metrics

 

 

Solution

  • Regular, simple tech renewal with Technology Lifecycle Management.

  • Comprehensive IT Asset Management platform for complete visibility and control of all devices.

  • Used devices securely and sustainably refurbished for reuse, for measurable sustainability impact.

According to DSV Road,

"One of the greatest advantages of Lifecycle Management is its smooth and reliable IT asset management tool. The procurement and device replacement details are listed on the platform for every device.” The service also helps them to implement consistent processes and hardware environments.

 

Regular IT renewal cycles are built-in with Lifecycle Management, so DSV Road’s employees always have access to the best digital tools. The device replacement checks and processes are carried out quarterly, providing a regular flow of new devices into the business without the pressure to overhaul all devices at once.

 

Used devices are decommissioned securely and sustainably through 3stepIT’s refurbishing centres using the principles of the circular economy."
