Eastern Connection Selects Industry-Standard Kewill Clippership For Their Strategic Customers
Kewill to Support Eastern Connection “Out of the Box”
Marlborough, MA - Kewill today announced a partnership to jointly resell, develop and market a more advanced shipping solution for deployment to Eastern Connection strategic customers.
Central to the partnership is the ability for Eastern Connections to move away from the costs and challenges of maintaining their own proprietary system and to leverage the industry’s best known brand thereby improving the ease of use and functionality for their customers. Eastern Connection will be able to offer their customers a fully integrated, robust shipping solution resulting in significant time and money savings.
“We are thrilled to be working with such a respected and long-time leader in the supply chain industry”, said James Berluti, CEO of Eastern Connection. “By working with Kewill we can focus on delivering the best small package logistics services on the east coast, while delivering the best technology to our customers. Given Kewill’s leadership position, extensive domain expertise, and continued investment in Clippership, it was an obvious choice for us.”
“Kewill is seeing a dramatic resurgence in the demand for multi-carrier shipping solutions in the mid-market, said Michael Dolan, COO of Kewill Enterprise Shipping. “One trend is the increasing role of regional carriers in the U.S. small package market and how that is driving increased technology to the forefront of the logistics chain. As an industry leader, it is crucial we continue to deliver first-class business solutions and our relationship with a leading carrier such as Eastern Connection provides a tremendous opportunity for both organizations to extend Clippership to our combined set of customers.”
