MISSISSAUGA, ON: UPS Canada (NYSE: UPS) announced the new UPS My Choice for business platform, a visibility and tracking solution designed for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs).
Key features include an internet-based tracking dashboard; advance delivery notifications, including day-before and day-of delivery notifications; and estimated time of delivery within 2, 3, and 4 hour windows for the majority of Canadian postal codes.
The mobile-friendly solution addresses significant pain points for SMBs. Self-registration enables shippers and receivers to more easily monitor, plan, react to and control their incoming deliveries and outgoing shipments. Users can share access with additional members of their organizations, giving them the same visibility and control over deliveries.
This service extends the reach of the UPS My Choice platform to commercial customers – and builds on the success of UPS My Choice for home, which was introduced in 2011 and now has more than 60 million members globally. UPS My Choice for business will enable a consistent customer experience for both business-to-consumer (B2C) and business-to-business (B2B) companies.
Our commitment to small and medium businesses in Canada and around the world, is unwavering, said Dominic Porporino, president, UPS Canada. The broad range of service options available to businesses of all sizes, are designed to keep them focused on growing their business.
