UPS announced that it is making it easier for customers in Latin America and the Caribbean to conduct business around the world through the implementation of web-based shipping applications and visibility technology tools such as UPS Internet Shipping, UPS CampusShip(R), UPS Quantum View(R) Manage and UPS Developer Kit- Applications Programming Interfaces (API).

The technology expansion will save customers time and money by streamlining the preparation, management and tracking of their small package and freight shipments whether international or domestic.

The countries that will benefit from the technology expansion will be: Argentina, Bahamas, Bermuda, Bolivia, Cayman Islands, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay, U.S. Virgin Islands, and Venezuela.

“Our investment in technology aims to better satisfy the needs of our customers, regardless if they ship a letter or high tech components, subassemblies or finished goods,” said Jose Acosta, president of Latin American operations and public affairs for UPS Americas. “By adding these tools to our portfolio of services and technology solutions, we are making it easier for our customers to expand around the world.”

Using UPS for international and domestic shipping, customers in Latin America and the Caribbean will be able to leverage the technology tools for creating shipments, tracking them, and gaining visibility in their local language.

“The implementation of the technology tools is one example of how UPS is always trying to make shipping easier to its clients,” concluded Acosta.
