Uber’s Next Logistics Move – UberRUSH
Following a successful pilot in New York City, UberRUSH officially announced UberRUSH in three cities – New York, Chicago, and San Francisco.
SupplyChain247 reports Uber’s Next Logistics Move – UberRUSH.
For a little over a year, Uber has been operating its UberRUSH delivery service as a pilot program in New York City.
Today it’s making it an official part of the company, and expanding the courier service to Chicago and San Francisco, allowing customers to receive deliveries from local businesses.
UberRUSH competes directly with Postmates, delivering items like groceries, take-out food, and house supplies, albeit with a much larger fleet of cars on the road.
But unlike Postmates, when you open the Uber app, you won’t be flooded with a number of businesses that can deliver something to you.
Uber has integrated its delivery service with a number of top e-commerce platforms used by small businesses like Shopify, Clover, ChowNow, and delivery.com, which should help increase the number of local companies that utilize UberRUSH.
While it’s still early in the game for UberRUSH, the possibilities for Uber to truly succeed as a full-fledged delivery service are readily available.
