UPS ACQUIRES SAAS DELIVERY MANAGEMENT TECH FIRM DELIVERY SOLUTIONS
June 1, 2022

UPS announced that it acquired Delivery Solutions, a Texas-based SaaS technology company. The purchase cost was not revealed.

 

The SaaS company offers retailers out-of-the-box solutions with access to same-day delivery; a ship from store and distribution centers; curbside and in-store pickup; and post-purchase customer experience.

 

"Delivery Solutions' leading technology helps merchants offer their customers more flexibility and an engaging online purchasing experience as they increasingly look for an experience-driven omnichannel strategy," UPS said in a statement.

 

It added that once a company plugs into the Delivery Solutions technology platform, they can easily connect to a global ecosystem of delivery companies in the same-day space — allowing retailers and platforms to meet the specific delivery needs of their customers while maintaining complete control of their eCommerce brand experience.

 

"Delivery Solutions will continue to operate with its current leadership as an agnostic, multi- carrier platform. It will be run independently and under the same name. Now combined with UPS' capabilities, it will create new solutions to speed up growth for our customers by improving end-to-end online shopping experiences," UPS added.

 

The logistics giant said this purchase supports UPS' customer-first strategy while positioning UPS to be a digital leader.

 

"We're focused on helping our customers navigate the digital commerce ecosystem quickly and effectively," UPS said.
