UPS has reorganized the way it is marketing its growing variety of non-package-delivery services.

UPS Supply Chain Solutions is a streamlined organization that combines the sales, marketing, finance and technology resources for its supply chain subsidiaries. The new organization is designed to make it easier for customers to access UPS' expanding range of logistics, freight, financial and consulting services beyond the package delivery for which the company is best known.
UPS Supply Chain Solutions offers customers the combined services of UPS Logistics Group, UPS Freight Services, UPS Capital, UPS Consulting and UPS Mail Innovations. Together, these companies provide supply chain design and management, freight forwarding, customs brokerage, mail services, multi-modal transportation, consulting and financial services.
The creation of UPS Supply Chain Solutions follows several years of acquisitions and expansions, some of which left the company with overlapping customers and competing sales forces.
In an article anticipating Wednesday's announcement, the Wall Street Journal characterized the move as UPS "trying to adapt its rigid culture to a slew of companies acquired during the past two years." The Journal says the overhaul is aimed partly at "revving up expansion of UPS' burgeoning nonpackage businesses," which are growing much faster than the company's traditional delivery operations.
Dan DiMaggio, formerly CEO, UPS Logistics Group, will direct UPS Supply Chain Solutions' global sales, marketing and solutions teams.
