28 November 2018 - 12:30AM
GREENWICH, Conn. - November 27, 2018 - XPO Logistics, Inc. (NYSE: XPO), a leading global
provider of transportation and logistics solutions, has become the
first company to offer last mile tracking of heavy goods through
Google Search. The company is the largest provider of last mile
logistics for heavy goods in North America, with an expansive
network serving e-commerce and omnichannel retail customers.
XPO's technology gives consumers the ability to
track big and bulky home deliveries directly through Google on any
internet-enabled device. The Google search phrase "XPO Package
Tracking" displays a box for the shipment number, updating the
status with a single click. This type of heavy goods tracking has
not been offered by last mile providers until now.
Mario Harik, chief information officer of XPO
Logistics, said, "We have technology teams dedicated to enhancing
consumerization across the board for our e-commerce and omnichannel
retail customers. Google Search interacts with our last mile
technology, XPO Connect marketplace and XPO Direct shared-space
network for a seamless digital experience."
XPO facilitates approximately 14 million last mile
deliveries, assemblies and installations of heavy goods a year,
completing the critical final stage of the supply chain for
consumer purchases. Once an item is in transit, XPO's technology
offers a choice of self-service options, including online order
management, text updates and voice-activated connectivity through
Google Home and Amazon Echo.
