Clear Destination Introduces "Ship To Home" Solution For Large Household Items

Furniture World News Desk on 1/21/2015


Clear Destination, a  leading provider of home delivery solutions, reported that it has just launched its Ship To Home technology, which consolidates home deliveries of large household items like furniture and appliances. The first North American licensee of Ship To Home is Roy Livraison Spécialisée Inc., Candad's largest home delivery provider, who is using it to offer quick, most cost-effective home delivery service to its clients.

The Ship To Home technology creates an extensive network of retailers, vendors and carriers all over Canada, allowing home delivery providers like Roy Livraison Spécialisée Inc. to comingle different retailers' products in the same truck. This means participating retailers can arrange for fewer trips and faster deliveries, which also results in significant reductions in both transportation costs and gas emissions. That's why Roy Livraison Spécialisée Inc. told Quebec's daily newspaper La Presse that they expect their annual revenues to grow from $55 million in to $200 million.

"This could help retailers compete with the Amazons of the world," vice-president and co-founder of Roy Livraison Spécialisée Inc. Mario Bourque said to La Presse.

"This kind of logistic efficiency inevitably reaps savings for transportation companies, retailers and manufacturers alike," explains Christian Lafrance, CEO of Clear Destination. "Because large household items also get to their destination sooner, there's also a huge boost in customer satisfaction."

Clear Destination's Ship To Home solution equally benefits retailers, who can either reduce or eliminate their warehouses, knowing their customers' orders can be sent directly from their store or website to manufacturers, which are then immediately dispatched to transportation services. Because Clear Destination connects the network of retailers, manufacturers, transportation services and logistics providers, large household items can be delivered within narrow 2- or 3-hour time-windows.

The Ship To Home solution is currently available in the North American market. More information is available at shiptohome.com.
