DHL Supply Chain has forged a strategic partnership with e-commerce homeware specialist Online Home Shop (OHS).

The deal will leverage DHL’s fulfilment network - which offers on-demand fulfilment services for small and medium sized e-commerce businesses - to optimise Online Home Shop’s supply chain and meet increasing customer demand.

DHL Supply Chain will manage warehousing, inventory and order fulfilment, ensuring exceptional service for customers across the UK from the point of order.

OHS is a family-owned business based in Greater Manchester. The company has increased its sales at over 40% per year and has plans in place to continue to accelerate this growth.

The new partnership with DHL will allow the company to pursue further expansion and scale its operations efficiently. Over recent years, the retailer has increased its range and expanded into furniture. DHL offers expertise in this area and will provide shipping solutions for OHS and support further category extension.

Moshe Cohen, Online Home Shop chief executive, said: “The business has seen impressive growth over the last few years, and we have ambitious plans for the future, but to achieve these, it is vital for us to have a trusted logistics partner who can support and enhance our operations.

“DHL will help to provide the advanced infrastructure and expertise we need to ensure our products are delivered quickly and reliably, particularly as we approach Christmas and Peak.”

Natalie Frow, DHL Supply Chain UK&I retail MD, added: “We are delighted to partner with Online Home Shop, it’s a dynamic and rapidly expanding business at an exciting stage of development.

“The DHL fulfilment network is specifically designed to provide scalable and flexible logistics solutions for growing e-commerce businesses, and we are confident and ready to support Online Home Shop in its nationwide expansion.”
