Unilever North America has signed a multi-year trucking agreement with Convoy designed to improve the lives of drivers and ultimately help to reduce the environmental impact of trucking. Specifically, Convoy will allow Unilever North America to maximize each shipment by leveraging high-quality, local trucking resources to reduce the amount of empty miles driven while enhancing the livelihoods of drivers.
“Unilever is one of the largest companies in the world, yet they’re incredibly agile and forward thinking—especially in their approach to supply chain innovation,” said Convoy co-founder and CEO Dan Lewis. “Their vision to reduce manual processes and make trucking more efficient aligns directly with ours.”
According to Reginaldo Ecclissato, senior vice president, Unilever supply chain Americas, Unilever was “impressed with Convoy’s approach to technology-enabled trucking services. Equally as important, we share a focus on driver health and well-being. Convoy has put the driver experience at the forefront of their proposition and delivered a progressive app to address many of the long-standing issues facing the driver community. We are excited to build out this partnership.”
