About PUDO Inc.

Founded in 2015, PUDO Inc. is developing North America's only carrier-neutral parcel pick-up and drop-off network. No other company in North America offers staffed retail locations equipped to receive consumer deliveries by any carrier. PUDOpoints include convenience stores, gas stations, mini-marts and grocery stores.

PUDO offers customers with a fully customizable and convenient method of delivery. Through the PUDOpoint™ network, consumers can control parcel deliveries – receiving online parcels wherever they want, whenever they want. When packages arrive at their preferred PUDOpoint, customers are automatically notified via text message or email that their package has arrived and is ready for pick-up. E-commerce companies and other shippers utilizing PUDO can save on residential "last-mile" delivery costs, and consumers can avoid the frustration and inconvenience of missed or stolen deliveries. The final destination of the parcel becomes the safe, fully-staffed retail environment of a PUDOpoint.

With a growing network of PUDOpoint locations across the U.S. and Canada, PUDO is revolutionizing the North American parcel-shipping model. PUDO was recently named one of the Top 20 most innovative public technology companies by the Canadian Innovation Exchange.
