US' Veho to open new facilities in 5 Midwest markets

In the fall, Veho will begin serving Cleveland-based customers and partners, bringing Veho to a total of six Midwest markets by end of year. The Midwest expansion enables Veho e-commerce partners to provide consistent and reliable next-day package delivery and doorstep returns to their customers, including real-time customer support, 99.9 per cent on-time delivery rates, and an average 4.9-star customer rating, the company said in a press release.

In addition to several dozen operations staff already in market, Veho will be adding over a hundred new full-time employees in the Midwest by the end of 2023 for the continued expansion and operation of the newly opened facilities. Moreover, thousands of independent driver-partners are already using the Veho app to earn.

With its company-operated facilities in-market, including sort centres and depots, Veho facilitates next-day delivery from a brand's distribution centre all the way to customers' doors via its technology platform and a network of independent crowdsourced drivers. Veho’s Midwest market will have over 300,000 square feet of warehousing space after the opening of the Cleveland hub.

Veho provides a transparent and predictable earnings opportunity for driver-partners, with the ability to independently select routes. Veho’s proprietary technology powers a platform that seamlessly matches demand for deliveries with driver-partners, enabling them to collect packages from Veho hubs and deliver them to consumers on dense last-mile routes—including offering convenient doorstep pick-ups at a customer’s request, according to Veho.

With the new openings in Cincinnati, St. Louis, and soon Cleveland, Veho will be serving 22 cities in five major US regions to rapidly expand its platform that powers premium, next-day package delivery and doorstep pickups across the country.

“As we continue to scale our premium customer experience across the US, doubling down on our growing Midwest customers and partners was a natural next step. We continue to focus on expanding our footprint in areas where our clients see the most value and are looking forward to bringing a new, customer-first delivery experience to the Midwest,” Itamar Zur, co-founder and CEO of Veho, said in a statement.

“We couldn’t be more excited about our Midwest expansion. In addition to bringing Veho’s best-in-class customer experience to the region, our Midwest facilities will provide excellent full-time jobs, as well as convenient and flexible work opportunities for driver-partners,” Matt Neururer, general manager for Veho Midwest, said.
