DHL Global Forwarding
DHL Global Forwarding is the air and ocean freight division of DHL. It moves cargo for shippers through a worldwide forwarding network.
In Saudi Arabia, DHL Global Forwarding runs office locations that support those operations. CPCON delivered an RFID fixed-asset program for the Jeddah, Riyadh, and Dammam offices so IT and Finance can work from one live register.
Two registers, three cities, and metal IT assets
DHL Global Forwarding in Saudi Arabia needed a complete physical baseline of office and IT assets. Finance and IT kept separate registers. Laptops and docks sit on metal, so they need a different RFID tag than furniture. The program had to work in three cities and stay usable after the field team left.
Split registers
Finance kept a fixed-asset register. IT kept a separate hardware register. The physical count had to reconcile to both.
Metal IT surfaces
Laptops, docking stations, and monitors need on-metal RFID tags. Furniture uses a larger tag class.
Three office cities
The same method had to work in Jeddah, Riyadh, and Dammam, then remain usable after handover.
Tag by asset class, reconcile both registers, train the teams
CPCON ran a physical count, applied RFID tags by asset class, photographed and checked each tag, and loaded the results into a cloud RFID system.
Tag selection
On-metal RFID tags for IT metal surfaces. Larger tags for furniture. Handheld scan in the field.
Photo QA
Each tagged asset was photographed and checked before it entered the live register.
Three-way reconciliation
The team reconciled the floor to the finance register and the IT register. The physical count found assets that were not on the finance register.
Cloud RFID software
Results loaded into a web RFID system. No local install on DHL devices. IT and Finance received training to look up assets, update locations, and add new tags.

One live RFID inventory

One live record
IT and Finance now work from one live RFID record instead of two disconnected lists.
Floor versus books
The physical count found assets that were not on the finance register. Hundreds of office and IT assets were brought onto the RFID program across three cities.
Repeat tag supply
After go-live, DHL ordered additional on-metal tags for laptops and docking stations.
