IRVINE, California,
April 17, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --
ShiftPixy, Inc. (NASDAQ: PIXY), a disruptive workforce
engagement platform provider, has welcomed delivery services
company Zion Delivery Service as a client into its ecosystem to
help streamline its recruiting and scheduling demands. By taking
over employer status of Zion Delivery W-2 delivery drivers,
ShiftPixy will empower Zion Delivery to scale and grow its work
with Amazon Logistics.
As Amazon and other logistics companies respond to the
e-commerce delivery boom, they've partnered with local courier
services to complete the "last mile delivery" to businesses and
consumers. This growth has created a unique digital ecosystem where
all parties rely on tech-driven solutions to increase efficiency
and streamline communication. The ShiftPixy relationship enables
Zion Delivery Service to become a leader in this space while
showcasing the advantages of this employment model. Founded in 2004
and focusing on the Southern
California market, Zion Delivery Service's rapid growth is
due to this increased demand and is now able to expand its
footprint by tapping into ShiftPixy's platform.
"As a 7-day-a-week operation, recruiting and retaining talent is
critical in order to meet the demands of our partners and end
customers," said Jeremy Pippen,
President of Zion Delivery Service. "ShiftPixy provides a
sophisticated tech-driven recruiting and scheduling platform that
will allow us to focus on developing our business in line with the
growth of our international partners such as Amazon Logistics."
Harnessing the Gig Economy concept, ShiftPixy matches employers
seeking part-time employees or delivery drivers with qualified
workers. Unlike others in the Gig Economy, ShiftPixy embraces
employer status of the workforce, offering benefits and
protections, all while handling administrative and compliance
burdens for the operators.
"Our leading-edge approach and underlying technology will
empower Zion Delivery Service to manage its fast-growing delivery
operation with greater ease and more efficiency," said Scott Absher, CEO of ShiftPixy. "The ShiftPixy
driver management layer lets clients leverage the mobile engagement
advantages of their Gig Economy competitors for connecting with
employees. We're excited to liberate Jeremy and Zion Delivery
Service to do what they do best and continue to expand their
relationship with Amazon Logistics."
As the logistics industry continues to leverage sophisticated
technology to scale and enhance efficiency, ShiftPixy is bringing
that same mindset to revolutionize the sector's employment model.
ShiftPixy's digital solution includes a private blockchain ledger
to record and track critical human capital validation data, a
sophisticated 'micro-metering' approach for financial and insurance
transactions, and IBM's Watson artificial intelligence engine to
achieve a uniquely personal experience for workers and employers
alike.
Note of Clarification
To be clear, ShiftPixy has never, does not now and will never
use its blockchain technology in any form of cryptocurrency or
cryptocurrency related application.
