SVI StorageVault Canada Inc

The last-mile delivery space is continuously evolving and FlexSpace Logistics, a StorageVault (SVI-TSX) brand, is proud to be at the forefront of that evolution.

FlexSpace has entered into a partnership with Pickups, investing in Canada’s most innovative on-demand last-mile delivery platform. By incorporating Pickup’s disruptive technology, FlexSpace will be able to offer a unique last-mile experience. With the click of a button and within minutes you will be able to place a delivery request anywhere, anytime -- no matter the size or quantity of the request.

With the addition of this technology, FlexSpace and StorageVault will further its dominant position in the last-mile space -- a privilege the company finds itself in by complementing its over 11 million square feet of rentable space with innovation.

According to StorageVault’s FlexSpace Business Leader, Lucas Koren, this partnership has the potential to be industry changing. “The end users are going to fall in love with this technology,” he said, “this will take FlexSpace in an exciting direction. Pickups has the opportunity to extend its service offering to the largest storage customer base in Canada, providing the app with tremendous growth opportunity. For StorageVault, our clients having the ability to move goods from their storage space to point B, the ability to enhance our services by facilitating the delivery of moving supplies directly into the hands of our customers, and the prospect of future retail last-mile strategic partnerships provides great long-term value.”

Pickups CEO and Co-Founder Nick Romeo echoes similar sentiments in expressing his excitement about this new partnership, saying “Pickups offers a last-mile experience like no other,” and adding “The technology that will be utilized differentiates itself through the diversity of its offerings. While most other platforms focus predominately on food, this service will offer the same convenience across all other verticals.”

With the partnership, FlexSpace Logistics will offer a true last-mile solution to complement its existing first and middle-mile service offerings in the Canadian marketplace.
