Uniquely positioned at the convergence of the three flows of commerce – goods, information, and funds – UPS provides customers the tools to simplify and streamline their processes. In that toolbox is an expanded portfolio of financial services and logistics technology software applications offered by UPS Capital Corporation and UPS Logistics Group.

While the UPS core business remains the source of its competitive advantage for the near future, the company’s growing capabilities in logistics and supply chain management hold great promise for long-term future growth.

Clearly the demand for third-party logistics expertise is high – an estimated $3 trillion was spent on supply chain logistics services globally in 1997. As the demand for logistics services accelerated, the pace of growth for the UPS Logistics Group accelerated as well.
