Expansion will help retailers reach over 17 million consumers
with faster, reliable delivery at a lower cost.
CHICAGO, July 25,
2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Leading e-commerce
parcel carrier OnTrac has expanded its delivery network into
the Midwest, empowering retailers to reach over 17 million
additional consumers with faster residential e-commerce delivery at
a lower cost. The added delivery coverage will stretch beyond
Chicagoland and Illinois into the
greater Midwest, through Madison
and Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the twin
cities of Minneapolis and
St. Paul, Minnesota, and
St. Louis, Missouri.
"We chose to expand to Chicago
and the Midwest based on overwhelming customer feedback for a
proven alternative carrier with our speed, cost-savings, service,
and scale. With our expansion, OnTrac will now serve the top 30
metro markets in the United States
and help our retail partners reach 70% of the population across 35
states and Washington, D.C.," said
Josh Dinneen, Chief Commercial
Officer. "OnTrac continues to grow our network to help our shipping
partners reach their customers with faster, reliable delivery. We
are excited to launch in Chicagoland and the Midwest and look
forward to welcoming more team members to the OnTrac family."
Located at 565 South Pinnacle Drive in Romeoville, the 334,000 square foot sort
center, equipped with state-of-the-art material handling equipment,
including fully automated small package sorters, will facilitate
millions of deliveries to consumers across the Midwest.
The expansion is the latest network and infrastructure
investment to support retailers. OnTrac launched deliveries seven
days a week in March to help retailers and shippers reach consumers
every day, including Saturday and Sunday at no additional cost.
Last summer, OnTrac launched in Texas in the fast-growing, urban megaregion of
Dallas-Fort Worth, Austin, Houston, and San
Antonio. OnTrac also expanded its transcontinental delivery
service—which connects the company's East and West Coast delivery
footprints to move packages from coast-to-coast in four days or
less—to all of its sort centers, enabling retailers and shippers to
leverage OnTrac to reach more of their customers across the
country.
Midwest consumers will be able to take advantage of the benefits
of the OnTrac proprietary delivery platform, including its Visual
Proof of Delivery (vPOD) service, which improves visibility and
transparency by providing a photo confirmation with time stamp when
package deliveries have been made, and NotifyMe, which provides SMS
notifications to alert consumers of attempted and successful
deliveries.
Dinneen added, "OnTrac continues to invest and deliver
innovative solutions that offer a competitive advantage for our
retail partners."
