In a globalized environment where traceability, trust, and efficiency are essential, having tools that guarantee a company’s legitimacy and solidity is indispensable. In the logistics industry—and particularly in the automotive sector, where operations are highly complex and time-sensitive—validating each link in the supply chain makes the difference between a smooth operation and a costly disruption.
One of the most internationally recognized credentials for ensuring that trust is the D-U-N-S® number, a unique identifier that has become a standard in global business. Today more than ever, having this number is synonymous with formality, transparency, and competitiveness in demanding markets such as the automotive industry.
At Grupo Zeit, we understand the importance of aligning ourselves with international best practices. That is why we are proud to announce that we now have our own D-U-N-S® number, strengthening our presence as a reliable partner within the automotive logistics chain.
What is D-U-N-S® and why is it important for your business?
The D-U-N-S® number is a unique nine-digit identifier assigned by Dun & Bradstreet, one of the world’s most recognized business information agencies. This number uniquely identifies companies in more than 200 countries, functioning as a “business passport” for global operations.
What is it for?
The D-U-N-S® is used by companies, financial institutions, governments, and multinational organizations to:
- Verify the legal existence of a company.
- Assess their reputation and financial strength.
- Facilitate international trade relations.
- Managing risks in supply chains.
- Establish contracts with large corporations or government entities.
