Pitney Bowes provides commerce solutions in the areas of ecommerce, shipping, mailing, and data and has announced this week the launch of new applications to help simplify shipping. The new services will be delivered through the SendPro C-Series, and were created through an ecosystem of third-party global developers, startups and partners on the Pitney Bowes Commerce Cloud. The new applications will be delivered in partnership with Google Cloud’s Orbitera commerce platform.
They say that the new developments represent the latest milestone in the company’s journey to reinvent and expand its business into the $40 billion digital commerce and shipping market. Since the launch of the SendPro C-Series Android platform last year, two global Hackathons brought together developers from major technology communities and innovation platforms to focus on simplifying shipping, mailing and related workflows by integrating with Pitney Bowes.
Our Android sending solution, allows us the flexibility to quickly bring to market a breadth of applications and solutions from not only Pitney Bowes, but from our technology partners as well. We’ve created a powerful ecosystem that is delivering incredible new value to our clients, helping them simplify the complex world of shipping.
