UPS Receives Prestigious InformationWeek Elite 100 “Decade” Award
May 04 2016 - 11:00AM
UPS (NYSE: UPS) was recognized with a Decade Award, given to 10
companies that have averaged the highest rankings on the annual
InformationWeek Elite 100 list over the past decade. UPS ranked 17
on the 2016 Elite 100 list for the integration of two services that
are revolutionizing package delivery: the UPS My Choice® delivery
service and UPS Access Point™ network. UPS also was selected as a
finalist for a Business Innovator award in the category of customer
experience.
The UPS My Choice® service and the UPS Access Point™ network
make consumer package delivery more convenient than ever before.
With the UPS My Choice® service, consumers receive notifications
about packages in advance, and can take control of their deliveries
with the ability to leave specific instructions for their UPS
driver on where to leave their package, or to re-route their
package to another location if they won’t be home. The UPS Access
Point™ network is comprised of neighborhood businesses that serve
as alternate delivery locations so that consumers can pick up and
ship packages on their schedules. This integration allows UPS to
link the digital information on packages to the physical execution
of package delivery to a variety of access points based on customer
choice.
“Technology innovations like those behind the UPS My Choice®
service and the UPS Access Point™ network integration are changing
the future of e-commerce delivery to be increasingly
consumer-centric,” said UPS Chief Information Officer Juan Perez.
“UPS will continue to push the technological boundaries to find
ways to connect our customers with new services that provide them
the convenience, choice and control they deserve.”
The UPS My Choice® service and UPS Access Point™ network
integration is made possible by proprietary routing software, and
includes the significant integration of applications on a global
scale. UPS is the first carrier in the U.S. to offer the services
provided by UPS My Choice® and UPS Access Point™ network.
