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 Technology Lifecycle Management model.

 

DSV Road has thousands of devices acquired and managed using 3stepIT’s sustainable Technology 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.

DSV Logistics Centre

According to DSV Road, “One of the greatest advantages of Technology 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 Technology 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.

Our happy client

In their own words

"Information security is particularly important to the group, so it’s great we can show a decommissioning certificate for every device. Life is more worry-free when we know that the data is disposed of securely. If we didn’t use 3stepIT’s service, we would have to dispose of our devices and get data erasure software licences on our own. That would be a huge task. Instead, we just have to wrap the devices and lift them on the pallet. The rest is taken care of on our behalf. It gives you a warm feeling when you know that the devices won’t go straight to landfill and are given a new home. We always receive excellent service too – 3stepIT’s people have the right attitude and the customer service simply works."
