Background

DX is a leading independent logistics and parcel distribution company operating throughout the UK & Ireland. Renowned for offering high levels of reliability, security, and service, DX is relied on by both public and private sector organizations. DX provides proven next day delivery services for mail and parcels to business and residential addresses nationwide. DX is the preferred provider of the UK Government and foreign embassies for identity documents and visas.

DX asked Metafour to help them replace their existing software which was a system used by customers of DX’s Courier service to enter details of a courier job, print labels and transmit data to DX for billing. However, as the software was installed locally on user PCs making it difficult to support and maintain. DX handles a huge volume of courier business on a daily basis and needed customer-facing software that offers a high level of advanced functionality. DX process over 40 million shipments annually using Metafour software.
