Growing Network of 40+ National, Regional and
Local Carriers Covers All US Postal Codes
Quiet Platforms, a wholly owned subsidiary of American Eagle
Outfitters Inc. (NYSE: AEO), today announced that it has launched
the Quiet Platforms Delivery Network to provide an expansive
national delivery service for retailers and brands. The new network
enables customers to gain instant nationwide coverage through a
trusted portfolio of carriers using a universal delivery label,
eliminating the need for multiple integrations, complex invoicing
or lengthy contract negotiations. The network dynamically manages
performance at the shipment level, ensuring the best decision is
made for every parcel to be shipped, based on delivery commitment,
quality of service and delivery cost. The integrated and growing
transportation network already numbers more than 40 carriers,
including Asendia, GLS, Gofor and Veho.
“We are reimagining the way retailers and brands deliver service
to their customers, while taking on the complexity of logistics,”
said Shekar Natarajan, EVP, Chief Supply Chain Officer of AEO and
head of Quiet Platforms. “We’re leveling the playing field by
offering high-quality delivery experiences without prohibitively
high investments in management and technology infrastructure. Our
ecosystem also gives carriers the opportunity to reach a wide range
of new customers without lengthy lead times or complexity.”
The Quiet Platforms Delivery Network features a mix of national,
regional and local carriers that cover all US postal codes. In
addition to nationwide coverage, the service offers redundancy in
major markets to preserve the consumer experience regardless of
individual carrier constraints or exceedingly high demand during
peak periods. Quiet Platforms’ technology further extends the power
of the carrier portfolio by deferring carrier assignment to the
edge of the network—optimizing cost and service levels for both
shippers and carriers and leading to delivery time reductions of
1–2 days and delivery cost reductions of up to $1.00 per
parcel.
“Quiet Platforms is reinventing traditional approaches to
fulfillment and delivery through innovations in technology,” said
Charles Griffith, CTO of Quiet Platforms. “Providing the ability to
dynamically adjust fulfillment and delivery decisions in real time
based on an ever-changing set of constraints is something others
have contemplated, but never achieved.”
