WTN Services- Carriers and economics of today
The economics and tough economy is having an adverse impact on many businesses. Don’t allow your business to be one of them. Today DHL announced that it will be pulling out of North America in January, that termination of their services offering will be a blessing to Fed Ex and UPS who will each will gain market share based on what industry analyst predict.
What will the impact be on the wine business is yet to be determined? DHL had a minimal presence in the wine segement and our clients opted for the more dominate players due to quality concerns those being UPS and Fed Ex. WTN Services never pushed the DHL option, though our primary competitors did, as we have anticipated their departure and demise for a while and did not want to create an undue burden on our clients consumer experience.
UPS and Fed Ex win against the competition but what that does longer term impact in pricing for the industry mean? That will be determined in the months ahead.
Key for our clients to understand is WTN Services has strong relationships with our carrier partners and the benefit of multiple distribution centers cannot be understated in allowing our clients a hedge in the uncertain economic times. We are on the lookout for further enhancements that will ensure our clients are best positioned for the long haul.
