Nigeria’s Diamond Bank and DHL have partnered to ease financial and logistical troubles faced by businesses and manufactures during the import of raw materials and goods.
From that partnership Diamond Logistics Services has been created. DLS will allow bisness managers- particularly in manufacturing- to essentially outsource their supply chain needs.
The new solutions will tie in both payments and logistics benefits.
“Diamond Bank Plc is interested in creating the convenience for our customers for their importation activities. We discover that most businesses dissipate needless energy, time and resources on their freight forwarding activities to the detriment of their core business concerns,” said Uzoma Dozie , Deputy Managing Director of the bank, reports All Africa.
Under the agreement, Diamond Bank will handle the payment for all importation transactions, while DHL handles the logistics involved.
DHL has high hopes for the program, and believes the new service may engender a revolution in the manufacturing industry in the country.
“DHL GF understands that logistics and finance are specialized fields that should be managed by people with remarkable track record,” said Sukhvinder Kaur, Chief Financial Officer, DHL Global Forwarding West Africa
