About Us
DPS International is a worldwide company with its
Head Office in central England, offering a wide range
of specialised logistics support services including logistics
consultancy, route scheduling software and in-cab control
and monitoring systems.
The company was started in 1982 by its current
chairman, Paul Palmer, as a logistics consulting business
based on many years of experience both at an operational
and functional level within the FMCG Transport sector.
The growth of the consulting business in the UK, particularly
at a Contract Logistics level, highlighted the need for
IT tools at both a strategic and tactical level. Having
researched the market and not finding the tools the market
needed, DPS invested in the development of both vehicle
route scheduling and planning software, initially to meet
its consulting customers' needs but eventually to a wider
logistics market.
In 1991, DPS began an expansion plan outside the UK
with its first sales in the Benelux countries and Scandinavia.
By 1993 there was further growth into France and Australia.
DPS is now a world player with additional offices in South
Africa, Germany and South Asia.
DPS now has over 70 staff directly employed, plus an
additional 20-30 people indirectly employed by partners.
The company now operates in four key areas:-
Logistics consulting
Supply of professional vehicle route scheduling and
optimisation software
Supply of route planning and time & distance technology
software
Systems integration and bespoke solutions - with ERP
systems, in-cab monitoring and warehouse management
The company is now a world leader in providing IT Solutions
to the Logistics sector with an infrastructure of DPS
offices spread out over the globe plus a network of Business
Partners.
