Retailers Can Connect Their Stores and Make Market Based Promises that Drive Down Overall Shipping Costs and Increase BOPIS Sales.

ANDOVER, Mass., March 23, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Nextuple, a pioneer in transforming retail fulfillment, today announced its Metro Shared Logistics services that enables retailers to increase local fulfillment capacity without investing in local fulfillment centers.

Nextuple today also announced the new Nextuple Platform, a SaaS-based solution that creates a virtual inventory pool by connecting a retailers' network of local stores and moves that inventory based on consumer demand. See the announcement here.

"Today's busy shoppers insist on fast fulfillment of their online purchases, whether curbside, buy-online pickup in store (BOPIS) or home delivery. But adding fulfillment centers in each metro region is cost-prohibitive for many retailers," said Darpan Seth, Chief Executive Officer, Nextuple. "Our Metro Shared Logistics services give retailers the speed, flexibility, and reduced costs they need to delight their customers. Shoppers get the product availability they want in the time they demand."

Nextuple will be exhibiting at Shoptalk 2022, March 27-30 in Las Vegas. Click here to set up a meeting with the Nextuple team at Booth 11071 to learn more about Metro Shared Logistics.

With Metro Shared Logistics, Nextuple shuttles pick up orders from stores daily and transfer inventory to Nextuple's in-market hubs for sortation. Ship from store items pulled from different stores for the same order are packaged together and prepped for final mile shipping to reduce the number of packages, costs, and waste. BOPIS orders are picked, sorted, and staged for customer pickup at the destination store the next day.

Metro Shared Logistics enables retailers to:

Make products available to consumers for pick up regardless of where they are in the market.
Eliminate packing and shipping operations in stores
Ship more products in fewer packages, reducing shipping complexity, costs, and improving sustainability

Nextuple's Metro Shared Logistics is launching in the Boston metro market in April 2022. Availability in other major metro markets will follow.
