DHL International GmbH

DHL International GmbH is not a parent company for DHL. It is a subidiary of Deutsche Post Beteiligungen Holding GmbH, which is a subsidiary of Deutsche Post AG. As such, it is a sibling to other DHL companies such as DHL Express Germany GmbH, DHL Verwaltungs GmbH, DHL Airways GmbH, etc.[1] It is incorrect to use DHL and DHL International GmbH as synonyms. -- ３２４７ (talk) 21:04, 31 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Article needs language cleanup

The English in this article needs some work; much of it has German sentence structure or is an obvious translation. There are POV problems, too: parts of it read as though they were written by German DHL staff.--Rhombus (talk) 16:41, 15 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

DP purchase

I always understood that DHL was privately owned before becoming part of DP. If that is the case, how did DP obtain ownership? John C Kay (talk)

There's way too many bullet points in this section; it should be prose.67.190.86.13 (talk) 00:52, 1 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Tracking Systems

A major feature of DHL (and other carriers) is the computer software essential for keeping track of individual items through the process of acquisition, manifesting at many levels, demanifesting and recording every move. There is an article "Track & Trace" but it refers mainly to labelling sytems. I know that DHL developed some pretty sophisticated systems for the purpose (I worked for DHL Systems briefly in the 80's). Is anyone out theer qualified to write an article on this topic?
