ShipMatrix Distribution Services
ShipMatrix has partnered with carriers for various aspects of the operation to meet this need for our customers and other retailers
Why ShipMatrix Distribution Services?
The ongoing labor contract talks between UPS and Teamsters are creating concern among shippers. While other national parcel carriers have excess capacity, it will still require shippers to seek alternates. Given that UPS delivers 21 million parcels per day, a diversion of even a few million will require creative solutions to avoid the fiasco of July/August of 1997.
So, just like ShipMatrix helped shippers during peak of 2020 and 2021 when the demand exceeded capacity, we will be setup to support SMx customers with alternatives to keep your products moving. This is being made available only as a stop gap measure during the weeks while the labor issue is settled at UPS. It is not a competing parcel service but an emergency resource to support our shipper and carrier partners.
To support these alternatives, SMx will be fully integrated with partner carriers for visibility, analytics, rate verification and customer communications that our customers have been relying on us for over 2 decades.
