What Ziing does
Ziing (legal entity Ziing Final Mile Inc.) is a Calgary-headquartered, asset-light last-mile delivery orchestration company that runs reliable, efficient final-mile programs at scale for enterprise shippers and retailers across Canada and the United States. Rather than operating its own fleet, Ziing orchestrates an ecosystem of vetted carrier partners and fractional capacity through its proprietary Ziing.ai intelligence layer, which coordinates routing, real-time visibility, SOP/SLA compliance, exception handling, and financial reconciliation. The company reports 99.5%+ on-time delivery performance and millions of deliveries annually, with 2024 weekly volume projected at 30,000 packages following the March 2024 acquisition of Metroland Parcel Services from TorStar Corp.
The product surface spans five core service modules (Final Mile Delivery, Fleet & Logistics Solutions, Warehousing & Fulfillment, Managed Logistics Programs, and Fleet Assist on-demand capacity), plus the Ziing.ai Driver App and a Future-Ready Delivery offering that integrates fleet electrification and EV adoption measurement. Technology infrastructure is built on Azure-hosted services with EDI (204/210/214/990) and JSON API support, OMS/WMS compatibility, native integrations with Shopify, BigCommerce, and WooCommerce, and IoT sensors for GPS and ambient temperature monitoring used in cold-chain and pharmaceutical workflows. The company serves verticals including agriculture, automotive, commercial supplies, construction, food/beverage/supplements, healthcare/pharma (including medicinal cannabis), and retail/ecommerce.
Ziing generates revenue through managed delivery service contracts, warehousing and fulfillment fees, and Fleet Assist engagements, sold via a consultative enterprise sales motion with dedicated account managers, quote-based pricing, and multi-year contracts. The March 2024 MPS acquisition is expected to roughly double revenue to $70 million CAD in 2024. Ownership and capital structure details are not disclosed in the available data; founder Sanders Lee is identified in the leadership table.
