An innovative courier service is dropping into the Tampa market.
Dropoff, a company that has turned the on-demand same-day delivery service industry on its head, is now offering its services in the Tampa Bay region. The company, which got its start three years ago, has experienced steady growth, with operations located in major cities throughout the U.S.
“Dropoff is headquartered in Austin, Texas, and currently operates in major Texas cities such as Dallas, Austin, San Antonio and Houston,” says Sean Spector, CEO of Dropoff. “The company launched it's East Coast operations in August with service in Miami and Fort Lauderdale, and its West Coast operations in Los Angeles in July. Dropoff’s expansion to Florida brings its service to all three of the most populous states in the US, which are California, Texas and Florida.”
The company’s proprietary technology platform, which offers real-time tracking and confirmations, as well as web and mobile ordering capabilities are just a few of the keys to its success. Its dispatch automation system, known as ‘
Intelligent Dispatch’ is a game changer in its industry.
“Dropoff is disrupting the courier market by leveraging its proprietary logistics technology and highly rated service to create a nationwide same-day delivery solution for businesses. Intelligent Dispatch automates an otherwise very manual courier process and provides Dropoff near infinite scale to customize and manage huge volumes of delivery requests as it expands across the country.”
Spector came up with the idea for the company in late 2013 after having a lackluster experience with a local courier. After having to call to confirm that his time-sensitive and confidential package was delivered, he found that very few couriers at the time provided delivery confirmations, and no one offered real-time package tracking. He knew there had to be a better way, so he gathered his former colleague and set out to create their new company.
Dropoff works with many well-known brands including Whole Foods, Neiman Marcus and JW Marriott. In the Tampa market, the company expects to be working with companies in several industries including healthcare, retail, food and grocery markets.
