Greenwich Company Launches Appreciation Tour

From Dan Blacharski Marketing: Point Pickup Technologies, a Greenwich, CT-based company offering a single platform that solves same-day delivery challenges for enterprises, today announced its “We Care Tour” with touch-points throughout the United States In today’s highly competitive same-day delivery market, Point Pickup has differentiated itself by building a sustainable business model focused squarely on driver satisfaction.

While the Point Pickup platform makes it easier for drivers to conduct their business through managing all delivery transactions, driver payments and insurance, it also provides drivers reliable work and income by enabling pre-scheduled, repeatable deliveries on a daily/weekly basis, on their preferred schedules and delivery routes. But, it takes more than a platform to keep drivers happy – it also takes an on-going commitment to put drivers first.

“Drivers are what make us successful,” said Point Pickup CEO Tom Fiorita. “It’s important to keep a dialogue going with our driver community, so we decided to take the conversation to them. And, while we’re there, we’ll provide them with hands-on training, Q&A’s as well as some free gifts and a lot of fun along the way! Drivers tell us that our attention to their needs is what sets us apart.”

The tour launched on June 4, with 57 stops in 15 regions including Allentown/Philipsburg PA, Pittsburgh PA, Clarksville TN, Huntsville AL, Mobile AL, Jackson MS, Shreveport LA, Lafayette LA, Tallahassee FL, Hilton Head SC, Jacksonville NC, Fayetteville NC, Richmond VA, Fredericksburg VA, and Washington DC.

"The phenomenal growth of ecommerce, along with a consumer expectation of low-cost and rapid delivery, has forced retailers and other businesses to look at new options for solving the last-mile delivery challenge," said Fiorita. "By eliminating much of the cumbersome middle layer, Point Pickup is able to transform what has always been a highly fragmented approach with a smart platform, capable of precisely matching any delivery criteria with our diverse driver network made up of larger trucking vendors, independent contractors as well as drivers who are 'everyday people.' By integrating this vast network of drivers with its intelligent matching technology, Point Pickup provides reliable, repeatable and scalable service with vehicles ranging from small sedans, to larger delivery trucks."

The gig economy has provided ordinary people from various backgrounds an opportunity to earn extra income. At Point Pickup, there is a dedicated driver group called EDPs, or everyday people, who are looking for new or supplemental employment opportunities. They are able to quickly join Point Pickup’s growing driver community via the hands-on support provided by the company. “Our drivers are everyday people, from all walks of life,” said Fiorita. “And, thanks to this dedicated network of drivers, we have become the fastest-growing last-mile parcel delivery platform in the market.”
