Pitney Bowes (Stamford, CT), a global shipping and mailing company that provides technology, logistics and financial services, has announced the launch of PitneyShip Pro to the Canadian market. PitneyShip Pro is a cloud-based sending solution “engineered to meet the needs of today’s business world.” The first shipping solution to be built on the powerful new SaaS Pitney Bowes Shipping 360 platform, PitneyShip Pro integrates next-generation design with advanced shipping functionality. The solution gives businesses an enhanced, customizable user experience, driving efficiency and productivity – whether employees work remotely or in the office.
Flexible and scalable, PitneyShip Pro gives organizations greater control and visibility into shipping activities and spending, providing a complete view of their shipping activity across all employees and locations while also offering the ability to rate shop national and regional carriers. The solution delivers the ability to evolve and easily integrate new functionality and additional users as business requirements change. Applications including ParcelPoint Smart Lockers can be integrated quickly and easily to give organizations a more holistic way to manage their sending and receiving.
“Every second, 50 parcels are generated in Canada. That’s 1.6 billion parcels a year, expected to rise to 2.5 billion by 2026,” said Shemin Nurmohamed, Senior Vice President of Sending Technology Solutions at Pitney Bowes. “Businesses need the right tools and technologies in place to manage this growing volume, to keep their costs down and deliver the best customer experience, but a hybrid workforce can make this incredibly challenging.
