As a subsidiary of Deutsche Post AG, DHL Paket GmbH in Bonn acts as the main carrier for German business customer's parcel transport. The umbrella company Deutsche Post DHL Group is the world leader in logistics, parcel delivery and letter communication.
We at DHL Paket have trusted Netresearch as a long-standing premium development partner for all matters related to Magento for over 10 years and are constantly working on keeping our joint integration solution up-to-date, maintained and improved. Netresearch has also been providing professional technical DHL customer support for Magento users for many years.
DHL Paket Partner Management
The plan
In Germany, numerous retailers rely on the shop software platform Magento from Adobe.
Netresearch has been working together with Deutsche Post & DHL since 2010 to offer business customers simple, flexible, and intuitive access to the latest DHL shipping products and services from the Magento shop system.
As the technical integration partner for the extensions, Netresearch also provides user support for customers on behalf of DHL.
Implementation
DHL Paket offers a constantly growing portfolio of shipping products, as well as services for recipients and retailers, which are to be implemented into the extensions. DHL's various APIs are also regularly updated and thus give access to new and additional solution options.
Compatibility with current Magento versions and the associated requirements for the technology stack and other extensions used by the retailer must be guaranteed as well.
The current generation Magento 2 shipping solution follows a modern, highly modular, multi-library approach. In this technical structure, the extension was already released as version 1.0.0 in April 2020. Since then, Netresearch has regularly updated it in several versions. More detailed information can be found in our blog posts.
