Overview Leading online and catalog retailers meet consumer demand for products by delivering parcels right to their doors. The company's existing white-glove service only reached 40 percent of U.S. ZIP codes - primarily those served by its popular retail stores. They turned to Exel Direct to create a consistent, full-service experience for all online and catalog customers. To develop the optimum national delivery solution for the company, Exel started with a complete network analysis. By studying the company's shipment data, they were able to develop a low-cost, highly reliable solution for all ZIP codes.
