The problem of frequent power cuts has been listed among major
challenges for the DHL Express courier company to carry out its day to day
activities hence forcing the company to incur costs of using alternative source
of energy.
The DHL Express Managing Director, Mr Blaise De Souza, told journalists
in Dar es Salaam recently that the problem affects the company's operations
while clearing the items as most of the activities were done electronically.
He said the warehouse receives at least 10,000 individual shipments per
day.
"Our ambition is to become the company's hub in East Africa. Our
colleagues from other countries have started coming to borrow a leaf of
experience from us," said the country's Managing Director whose company
operates to over 120 countries worldwide.
Mr De Souza said his company with 90 per cent of local staff has been
operating in the country for over 20 years, saying the country's good
infrastructure has been facilitating the DHL Express operations.
But he said lack of the area code posed another challenge for his
company while delivering consignments and that the company uses different channels
to ensure customers got the consignments at the right time.
"We have 35 motorcycles which are used for airport and door to
door delivery services in the city and our own airplanes to transport the
consignments worldwide," he said.
Mr De Souza named the company's regional branches as Tanga, Mwanza,
Arusha, Moshi, Mbeya, Iringa, Morogoro, Mtwara and Isles.
