UPS International Backgrounder

 

UPS synchronizes global commerce by offering unmatched technology, transportation networks and capabilities. The company’s services including small package delivery, heavy freight transportation and supply chain management as well as trade financing and customs clearance help companies simplify international trade, streamline worldwide operations and improve revenue.

Because of that, UPS is well positioned to meet the increasing demands of businesses challenged by the new made-to-order, just-in-time supply chain. The company offers superior time-definite worldwide delivery options, technology to provide critical information and services to speed the flow of funds.

For example, UPS offers its customers unique services such as UPS Trade DirectSM, which can blend the speed of express with the efficiency of freight and includes advanced technology for visibility along the entire supply chain. This contract service uses UPS freight to transport consolidated pre-labeled, small package shipments internationally over land, sea or air and clear customs as a single unit. Once in the destination country, the service can utilize the UPS express network for delivery of individual packages to the final destination. The service reduces warehousing, speeds goods to market and cuts costs.
