PICKUP

What PICKUP does

PICKUP is a Plano, Texas-based same-day last-mile delivery provider founded in 2014 by Brenda Stoner, specializing in big, bulky, and high-value items that traditional parcel carriers handle poorly. The company operates an enterprise technology platform branded as PICKUP Fusion, which combines proprietary routing and matching algorithms with a vetted network of independent delivery professionals (Delivery Pros) and provides real-time tracking, text notifications, and ETA updates. Its core products are Fusion Formula, a full API integration for partner e-commerce checkout and POS systems; Fusion Theory, a light POS portal that can be launched within 48 hours; Fusion Blueprint, a partner performance dashboard announced in 2022; and tiered offerings under the PICKUP GO, PICKUP PRO, and PICKUP ENTERPRISE sub-brands. The platform is SOC 2 Type 1 compliant and offers a 100% carbon-neutral delivery option via a partnership with GreenPrint.

PICKUP serves furniture and home decor retailers, home improvement retailers, general merchandise retailers, e-commerce businesses, HVAC and plumbing contractors, automotive parts suppliers, and commercial/industrial customers, with named enterprise logos including Walmart, HomeGoods, Homesense, BuyBuyBaby, Trane, Big Lots, American Standard, and At Home. It also operates a self-serve consumer booking portal for individual customers and supports White Glove delivery with in-room placement and optional furniture assembly. The company sells through a mix of enterprise direct sales, API integration, in-store retail partnerships, and a self-serve booking portal, with marketing concentrated in content (blog, video, podcast, case studies) and industry events.

PICKUP generates revenue primarily through transaction-based delivery fees — standard delivery starts at $49 per Delivery Pro within 10 miles, plus per-minute labor ($1.50), mileage, stair, weight, and equipment surcharges, and a $25 cancellation fee — applied across 90+ U.S. markets. On July 25, 2023, PICKUP merged with Point Pickup Technologies, Inc., combining Point Pickup's 500,000+ flex worker small-parcel network and GrocerKey subsidiary with PICKUP's big-and-heavy delivery expertise to create a national provider spanning small parcels through big and bulky goods. The combined entity remains privately held with no publicly disclosed revenue.
