Expansion will help retailers reach over 17 million consumers with faster, reliable delivery at a lower cost.

CHICAGO, July 25, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Leading e-commerce parcel carrier OnTrac has expanded its delivery network into the Midwest, empowering retailers to reach over 17 million additional consumers with faster residential e-commerce delivery at a lower cost. The added delivery coverage will stretch beyond Chicagoland and Illinois into the greater Midwest, through Madison and Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the twin cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota, and St. Louis, Missouri.

“We chose to expand to Chicago and the Midwest based on overwhelming customer feedback for a proven alternative carrier with our speed, cost-savings, service, and scale. With our expansion, OnTrac will now serve the top 30 metro markets in the United States and help our retail partners reach 70% of the population across 35 states and Washington, D.C.,” said Josh Dinneen, Chief Commercial Officer. “OnTrac continues to grow our network to help our shipping partners reach their customers with faster, reliable delivery. We are excited to launch in Chicagoland and the Midwest and look forward to welcoming more team members to the OnTrac family.”

Located at 565 South Pinnacle Drive in Romeoville, the 334,000 square foot sort center, equipped with state-of-the-art material handling equipment, including fully automated small package sorters, will facilitate millions of deliveries to consumers across the Midwest.

The expansion is the latest network and infrastructure investment to support retailers. OnTrac launched deliveries seven days a week in March to help retailers and shippers reach consumers every day, including Saturday and Sunday at no additional cost. Last summer, OnTrac launched in Texas in the fast-growing, urban megaregion of Dallas-Fort Worth, Austin, Houston, and San Antonio. OnTrac also expanded its transcontinental delivery service—which connects the company’s East and West Coast delivery footprints to move packages from coast-to-coast in four days or less—to all of its sort centers, enabling retailers and shippers to leverage OnTrac to reach more of their customers across the country.

Midwest consumers will be able to take advantage of the benefits of the OnTrac proprietary delivery platform, including its Visual Proof of Delivery (vPOD) service, which improves visibility and transparency by providing a photo confirmation with time stamp when package deliveries have been made, and NotifyMe, which provides SMS notifications to alert consumers of attempted and successful deliveries.

Dinneen added, “OnTrac continues to invest and deliver innovative solutions that offer a competitive advantage for our retail partners.”

OCR Canada Rebrands to Levata

Published

1 hour ago

December 27, 2024

TORONTO, Dec. 27, 2024 /CNW/ — OCR Canada Ltd., Canada’s leading solutions provider of automated identification data capture (AIDC) products, software, and services for businesses across industries and government organizations, is pleased to announce its rebrand to Levata as of January 1, 2025. This transition unites Canada’s operations with Levata’s global identity, streamlining the company’s messaging while honoring OCR Canada’s more than 40-year legacy of trusted service and expertise.

The name OCR, which originally stood for Optical Character Recognition, reflects a technology that no longer represents the company’s comprehensive offerings. Rebranding to Levata supports the broader strategic vision of uniting Levata across markets under one multinational brand to better communicate the full value Levata delivers to its customers.

“This rebrand is an exciting milestone for Canada,” said Tony Mastrangeli, Executive Vice President & GM of Canada. “While our name is changing, the exceptional service, expertise, and relationships our customers rely on remain the same. Levata will continue to empower businesses with tailored solutions, just as OCR Canada has for more than 40 years.”

The transition follows a successful history of growth in Canada, with OCR Canada joining Levata in 2014. Since then, the Canadian arm has expanded its expertise through strategic acquisitions and established itself as a leading provider of AIDC solutions across industries.

“This rebrand marks the next step in Levata’s long-term vision,” said Dan Nettesheim, CEO of Levata. “By uniting under a single, global identity, we are amplifying our global message that we enable our customers to elevate their potential. Today, we provide solutions beyond OCR and barcoding, we also offer leading technology and services for enterprise mobility, RFID, networking, IT infrastructure, and more to help customers succeed in a competitive and rapidly evolving market.”

To complement this transformation, Levata Canada will launch a French-enabled eCommerce platform in January 2025, further enhancing customer access and experience.
