STAMFORD, Conn. — Pitney Bowes is expanding its Regional Delivery Service models to 20 major cities and Huntsville is one of them.
Pitney Bowes, a global shipping and mailing company, provides technology, logistics, and financial services. The company said it can provide shippers more options to achieve cost-effective one- to three-day delivery in markets like Huntsville.
Pitney Bowes’ delivery platform will be available for e-commerce businesses, including its national network of highly automated sort centers and technology to process parcels at scale.
“Pitney Bowes helps ecommerce shippers solve one of the most fragmented carrier markets – regional delivery,” said Gregg Zegras, EVP and president, Global Ecommerce at Pitney Bowes. “As brands and retailers look to simplify carrier relationships and improve operational efficiency and customer experience, Pitney Bowes is bringing its investments in automation, robotics, and machine learning to bear to make ecommerce logistics easier for our clients with both national and regional delivery options.”
The expanded regional delivery services will help brands and retailers reach an additional 100 million consumers within 1-3 days in Huntsville; Birmingham; Miami; Orlando; Tampa; Atlanta; Savannah, Ga.; Jackson, Miss.; Charlotte; Raleigh; Greenville, S.C.; and Nashville.
Pitney Bowes launched its first regional delivery service models in 2022 in Northern and Southern California and the Northeast U.S.
“In the first quarter, regional delivery services helped Pitney Bowes grow Global Ecommerce volumes 22%,” said Zegras. “By bringing these services to another 20 major cities in the Southeast and Southwest, we’re creating new and innovative ways to help our clients offer fast, predictable delivery to their customers.
“As a result, we expect regional delivery to be an even bigger driver of volume growth for Pitney Bowes going forward.”
As part of its consultative approach, Pitney Bowes offers retailers and brands a comprehensive analysis of shipping volumes to help determine which parcels best fit a regional service model while continuing to maximize national volume tier discounts.
