Pitney Bowes Inc. (NYSE: PBI), a global technology company that
provides commerce solutions in the areas of ecommerce, shipping,
mailing and financial services, today announced new digital sending
technologies, available to Canadian businesses for the first
time.
The new solutions include a SaaS-based sending platform SendPro®
Enterprise, which perfectly suits larger organizations adapting to
remote working, improving cost control and visibility with detailed
analytics. A new Intelligent Locker solution facilitates zero touch
contactless delivery, ideal for organizations including retailers
and universities under pressure to meet growing parcel delivery
demands, while minimizing face-to-face interactions. For smaller
businesses, SendPro® Online has extended its multi-carrier
capabilities to increase choice and generate savings with the
addition of Canadian carrier Purolator.
Bill Mackrell, general manager, Canada, Pitney Bowes said, “Over
a billion parcels are shipped from Canada each year – that’s more
than 2000 every minute. As Canadian businesses continue to feel the
shockwaves from the impact of the pandemic, they need strategies to
manage this rising parcel volume and meet customer expectations
while containing costs. These new technologies help businesses of
all sizes solve mail and parcel shipping challenges with innovation
that will truly make a difference.”
Recently, Pitney Bowes polled over 200 medium- and large-sized
Canadian businesses to uncover their current shipping challenges. A
third of the businesses surveyed were challenged by the ability to
enable employees to ship remotely. Twenty-eight percent found it
difficult to track outgoing packages across remote locations.
SaaS-based sending platform SendPro Enterprise enables
businesses to overcome these challenges. New to businesses in
Canada, the software consolidates all shipping activity and costs
across the entire organization in a single, detailed analytics
dashboard providing complete visibility and cost control. SendPro
Enterprise is ideal for organizations with multiple locations and
remote employees, bringing multi-carrier shipping to every
employee’s desktop, regardless of their location.
Thirty-one percent of businesses in the Pitney Bowes poll were
challenged by the ability to offer 24/7 contactless pick-up. Pitney
Bowes’ Intelligent Locker solutions facilitate this. Optimized for
mobile and powered by cloud-based parcel management software, they
offer contactless pick-up and delivery with sophisticated
functionality, eliminating the need for package recipients to
collect parcels from mail centers, minimizing physical interactions
and helping to meet safety requirements.
For small- and medium-sized Canadian businesses with remote
workers, all-in-one shipping platform SendPro Online, which
currently includes Canada Post, UPS and FedEx, now has extended
multi-carrier functionality with the addition of Purolator. One of
Canada’s leading courier, freight and logistics companies, the
addition of Purolator to SendPro Online gives users access to a
broader range of carriers, services and rates.
The new capabilities launch as Pitney Bowes celebrates 100 years
of innovation. Find out more here.
