The Challenge

Before · Zero state

Unification of legacy data over to new system

DHL unified data from 22 disconnected systems into one platform, where even a small migration error could disrupt operations and create compliance risks.

Go-Live: Oct 10, 2025 / Non-negotiable
/ 01

22 systems, 22 different data formats, no common standard

/ 02

400+ business units each with their own data, quirks, and timelines

/ 03

Live, business-critical information with zero tolerance for errors at go-live

Our Role

Systematic migration, zero errors

IL designed and executed a four-phase migration programme built around a single quality standard applied consistently across every business unit, every system, and every data type worldwide.

A

A single migration rulebook governing all business units and data types globally.

B

A unified data model all records had to meet before being allowed through to the new system.

C

Automated cleaning processes replacing manual intervention across every data source.

D

Custom transfer pipelines built specifically for DHL's architecture, not off-the-shelf tooling.

E

Clear documentation and handover enabling DHL's teams to take full ownership post-launch.
