Why ShipMatrix Distribution Service?
The Covid-19 pandemic has permanently altered buying behavior of millions of consumers and that has created urgency among retailers to modify their supply chain.
Then, the explosive growth in parcel volume, which exceeded 3 billion parcels during the peak period of 2020, has caused capacity constraints for the global parcel carriers and even the U.S. Postal Service. It is pushing many retailers to seek alternative methods to secure efficient, cost-effective, and dependable services for transportation of their products to stores and/or directly to consumers.
Since ShipMatrix has been helping hundreds of shippers for over 2 decades with visibility, analytics, rate verification, and customer communications on delivery status, it has now responded to their needs and requests for help with distribution options while the industry capacity is short of the demand.
