UPS acquires Roadie to enable local same-day delivery

Stattimes13 Sep, 2021News

UPS announces the acquisition of Roadie, a technology platform that enables local same-day delivery with operations throughout the U.S. This agreement is said to be a part of its customer-first strategy. UPS customers are increasingly looking for local same-day delivery solutions for goods of all types, not traditional packages. Roadie often provides service for shipments not compatible with the UPS network because of their size and perishable nature, and often because they are in shopping bags without the packaging required to move through the UPS system.
