UPS, a global shipping and logistics firm, inaugurated its first technology centre in Chennai on Monday. The company also inaugurated a second dedicated airport gateway in Bengaluru, doubled export and import handling capacities, and launched MOVIN Express for India’s domestic logistics market in partnership with InterGlobe Enterprises.
The new technology centre is focused on innovations that aim to make business dealings easier for UPS customers. Earlier this year, UPS announced a strategic investment of $15-20 million in India, intended to complement its existing technology teams in the US and Europe. The Chennai facility, situated on Poonamallee Road, covers an area of 51,000 square feet. UPS has bolstered its network with investments such as the introduction of its UPS Premier service for critical and sensitive health care shipments in India.
“These centres will empower us to provide an unparalleled logistics experience for our customers, employing advanced technologies including artificial intelligence, automation, and robotics,” said UPS officials.
