Aftermarket auto retailers have incredibly complex inventory management and delivery needs. With tens of thousands of products, countless retail stores and multiple customer bases with tight delivery time windows, most retailers rely on hodgepodge delivery solutions cobbled together from crowdsourcing, contractors and dedicated vehicles. Unfortunately, those solutions are costly, can’t keep up with delivery capacity and can’t deliver consistent customer experiences. That’s where USPack came in.Solution
