Data from Veho's 2024 Peak Season Report reveals a striking disconnect in between shipper behavior and consumer delivery expectations. While 79% of customers prioritize real-time delivery updates, more than a quarter of retailers have not implemented transparent tracking solutions. This gap widens with service speed: 45% of customers expect 2-day delivery, yet only 21% of retailers meet this demand. What’s more– 43% of customers want photo proof of delivery, but just 24% of retailers say they provide this basic assurance. Veho's innovative approach closes the gap between shipper behavior and customer needs through comprehensive, tech-enabled solutions. Our precise delivery windows and tracking updates keep customers informed, while our Perfect Placement technology ensures packages arrive exactly where customers drop a geo pin—with photo confirmation to prove it. The future of shipping isn't just about speed—it's about transparency, reliability, and customer empowerment. Is your delivery experience meeting the new standard?

65% of consumers won’t order from your brand again after a bad delivery experience. Getting the shipping experience right this peak season–especially for first time customers– is essential. A positive delivery experience can turn a customer into a valuable repeat buyer, while a negative experience can result in a lifelong detractor. Despite this data: 67% of consumers told us that they have seen no improvement in their delivery experience over the last year, or they say it’s actually gotten WORSE. Consumers vote with their feet. Shippers must prioritize the delivery experience this peak season or risk losing out on potential revenue. For more insights, check out our peak season guide: https://lnkd.in/g2n7y3Ae

Shipping is more than a cost center. Shipping is your secret weapon for e-commerce growth. Many brands focus narrowly on direct costs paid to carriers, overlooking the fully landed cost of shipping. By evaluating shipping as an ROI center, measuring the holistic impact of shipping on your entire P&L, brands can transform the last mile into a powerful differentiator that delights customers, builds loyalty, and ultimately boosts your bottom line.

Life can take you places if you’re up for the journey. Eight years ago, while still in business school, I had the chance to visit the Parcel Forum show in Dallas. Since I was a broke student, the conference organizers were kind enough to offer me a free ticket. I was grateful. Little did I know, that conference would change my life. The parcel delivery industry in 2016 was as far as it gets from ‘innovative’. While the whole world was talking about autonomous vehicles, drones and customer experience, the hottest topic at Parcel Forum still revolved around how to negotiate better rates with UPS and FedEx. The industry was so outdated that I found it mind-blowing. It immediately became clear to me that someone was going to disrupt parcel delivery. And rather than wait for it to happen, I decided to start Veho to do it ourselves. But a lot has changed since 2016. Recently, Veho and I came full circle with Parcel Forum. At the 2024 show in Dallas, I had the opportunity to give a live talk about how Veho is closing the gap in the market between what consumers want and what brands can offer. We're doing that by leveraging disruptive technology, a scalable operating model, and world-class customer experience. But we also shared a few other useful insights for retailers and brands. First, we shared a step-by-step playbook for how brands can better leverage their shipping providers to drive their overall business strategy. And second, we presented a new way for brands to measure the overall ROI on their shipping spend, so they can make smarter decisions about who to partner with. We call it Return on Shipping (ROS). For those who did not have a chance to attend, I’m sharing the full presentation here.

Before Itamar Zur co-founded Veho, he was a student at Harvard Business School. As a student, he had the chance to attend PARCEL Forum (The #1 Package Fulfillment Event in the U.S.). He jumped on the opportunity. At the conference, it immediately became clear to him that someone was going to disrupt parcel delivery. And rather than wait for it to happen, he decided to start Veho.
