Onfleet and Total Wine & More Partner to Launch Retailer's Nationwide Alcohol Delivery Service

SAN FRANCISCO, October 29, 2018 (Newswire.com) - Today, Onfleet announced their partnership with Bethesda, Maryland-based Total Wine & More, the largest independent retailer of fine wine in the US. Onfleet’s last-mile delivery software platform will be used by Total Wine & More to offer same-day and scheduled delivery of alcohol and other products to customers in select markets. Currently available in 13 cities across Virginia, deliveries will come direct from the store, with a private in-house fleet of delivery personnel facilitating the actual deliveries.

Total Wine plans to expand its own fleet delivery offering, utilizing the Onfleet platform throughout the country where legal. Total Wine & More has partnered with middleware company Delivery Solutions to route orders being placed on the Total Wine & More mobile app to the desired final mile provider. Once an order is routed to Onfleet the stores take control of the order. Utilizing Onfleet's route optimization feature, the stores can have the delivery driver take the most efficient route, taking into account current traffic patterns and delivery times.

Onfleet provides Total Wine & More with powerful routing and analytics tools to enable our own Total Wine & More associates to provide a world class delivery experience. Our partnership has allowed Total Wine to also expand our delivery program into several markets and sets a foundation for future growth.
