ESW announces alliance with UPS to offer brands faster DTC access in international markets

ESW, the global DTC ecommerce company, today announced an agreement with UPS that they say will provide integrated international ecommerce and shipping capabilities for brands aiming to accelerate their DTC expansion, enabling them to be more effective at reaching global consumers via cross-border ecommerce. Through this new bundled offering, it is claimed that UPS customers and ESW clients will see ‘significant capabilities to deeply localize their online shopping experience and leverage UPS’s global transportation and customs brokerage platform for delivery’.

“The ability to get a one-stop solution that combines ESW’s technology and deep localization expertise with UPS’s expansive logistics and transportation network will give DTC retailers of any size greater access to consumers on a global scale,” said Patrick Bousquet-Chavanne, President and CEO, Americas, ESW. “This agreement leverages our entire logistics and payments ecosystem as well as UPS’s extensive global transportation network to remove barriers and alleviate the friction that often impedes brands and retailers from selling directly to consumers regardless of where they live in the world.”

“UPS continues to innovate on behalf of customers, offering new capabilities to grow their businesses. This alliance with ESW offers UPS ecommerce customers the ability to sell and ship seamlessly around the world, with the confidence that they are delivering a great shopping experience,” Bill Seward, UPS President, Americas Region and Global Customer Solutions said.
