Uber has been expanding its operations with more emphasis on delivering nonfood items. Bringg has been providing delivery management platforms for retail customers around the world, but is always on the hunt for more delivery capacity to improve the experience.
“Bringg and Uber Direct France working together will be a force to reckon with in the delivery and fulfillment industry,” said Bastien Pahus, general manager of Uber Eats France, Switzerland and Belgium. “Leveraging Bringg’s market-leading innovation and customer-first outlook will strengthen and grow our market presence in the French market and emphasize the importance of last-mile delivery.”
“The last mile is the most expensive mile,” Bloch told Modern Shipper at Home Delivery World in Philadelphia, where the announcement was made. “We do all this because customers want to buy where it’s convenient, where it’s fast, and if you don’t do that, they buy from someone else.”
