UPS acquires Delivery Solutions to strengthen same-day delivery services!

It is learned that on May 31, UPS announced that it had acquired Delivery Solutions, a last-mile delivery company, for an undisclosed amount. The acquisition of Delivery Solutions will help UPS provide more same-day delivery options. In addition to adding same-day delivery options, Delivery Solutions also provides curbside, in-store pickup and after-sales solutions.

UPS said Delivery Solutions will operate independently, and now combined with UPS's capabilities, Delivery Solutions will create new delivery solutions, speed up delivery for customers by improving the end-to-end online shopping experience, and help UPS better understand retail customers' inventory and order data. "

According to its website, Delivery Solutions' platform provides access to a variety of delivery providers, from same-day options such as Roadie and Walmart GoLocal to traditional package carriers such as FedEx and UPS. The company will support UPS's offering as retailers look to meet the diverse needs of e-commerce shoppers through same-day delivery and omnichannel fulfillment.

UPS CEO Carol Tomé once said that as the demand for delivery services surged in the early days of COVID-19, UPS was exploring ways to strengthen its competitiveness in the same-day delivery field. Since then, UPS has made two acquisitions to demonstrate its same-day delivery ambitions. For example, in October 2021, it completed the acquisition of crowdsourced same-day delivery provider Roadie, which made up for the delivery capabilities of perishable items that were missing from the UPS delivery network.

Dean Maciuba, U.S. managing partner at Crossroads Parcel Consulting, said: “UPS previously acquired supply chain company Marken. Now acquiring Delivery Solutions is a great move for UPS to deeply understand the potential of same-day delivery and realize the potential of same-day delivery.”
