DHL Resilience360 and TAPA join forces to reduce trucking crime.
According to the European Union, the theft of high-value goods entering supply chains in Europe costs businesses more than €8.2 billion a year. The threat from organized criminals is growing and becoming more serious. The Transported Cargo Protection Association (TAPA) effectively prevents and investigates trucking crimes.
Deutsche Post subsidiary DHL Group DHL Resilience360 and the Cargo Protection Association (TAPA) have joined forces to reduce crime in the trucking industry. The partnership will aim to improve supply chain transparency and security in the Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) region for Resilience360 customers and TAPA members.
As part of the partnership, DHL Resilience360 and TAPA will use their strengths to provide a comprehensive view of cargo security threats in the EMEA region. DHL Resilience360 will introduce its end-to-end supply chain risk management system as a user platform, while TAPA will provide cargo theft data for analysis on the platform. The partnership will allow customers to use the platform’s tools to predict, assess and mitigate supply chain disruption risks for manufacturing and transportation networks. Resilience360 will also maintain the TAPA Freight Crime Database through the sharing of cargo theft data.
“This is a unique partnership. TAPA EMEA is a recognized leader in supply chain security, and TAPA members who also use Resilience360 for end-to-end supply chain risk management will gain a broader understanding of cargo theft issues,” commented Tobias Larsson, Founder and CEO of Resilience360. “Our customers will be able to view this data in the context of other geopolitical and social upheavals, natural disasters and labor conflicts reported by Resilience360.”
The Transported Goods Protection Association (TAPA) is a unique forum that brings together global manufacturers, logistics providers, freight carriers, law enforcement and other stakeholders with the common goal of reducing losses across international supply chains.
TAPA’s Incident Information Service (IIS) continuously collects information and shares data to enable its members to use the most up-to-date freight crime data to avoid incidents in hot spots, protect goods in transit and, if necessary, report theft and track stolen property.
TAPA regularly consults at the highest level with relevant government departments and with law enforcement agencies to support the demands of its members in their campaign to reduce crime.
Today in Europe, the Middle East and Africa, North and South America and Asia, TAPA membership is growing every month. The association has over 600 members, including many of the world’s leading manufacturing brands as well as their logistics and transportation service providers with combined annual sales of over US$900 billion.
Resilience360 is an innovative cloud platform that helps companies visualize, track and secure their business operations. The solution facilitates intuitive visualization of the supply chain, tracks deliveries and estimated time of arrival (ETA) across different modes of transport, and enables near-real-time monitoring of supply chain-disrupting incidents. The platform seamlessly integrates with business systems and helps companies track risk in conjunction with their business performance metrics. This enables companies to better ensure supply continuity by profiling risk from over 31 risk databases and identifying critical points using heat maps to mitigate risk and turn potential disruptions into a competitive advantage.
