Pronto Delivery

What Pronto Delivery does

Pronto Delivery (DBA Pronto Courier Delivery & Logistics) is a privately held regional logistics company founded in 1984 and headquartered in Arlington, Texas, with a regional office in Houston and a dedicated warehouse facility. The company provides on-demand and scheduled transportation, courier, freight, warehousing, and distribution services across the Dallas-Fort Worth and Houston metropolitan areas with national delivery capability. Its fleet of 200+ vehicles spans pickup trucks, vans, box trucks, pipe-rack vehicles, flatbeds, gooseneck trailers, and 53-foot tractor trailers with freight capacity up to 50,000 pounds, supplemented by a Driver Partner Program that recruits independent contractors. Service lines include hot-shot and same-day courier, final-mile and white-glove delivery, LTL, heavy haul, and air freight, plus third-party logistics with global forwarding and drayage at the Port of Houston. A specialized ProntoMD division delivers HIPAA- and OSHA-compliant medical courier services to labs, pharmacies, hospitals, blood centers, and home health agencies.

The underlying technology stack combines a cloud-based logistics platform with EDI (204, 210, 214) and API integration, a customer portal at pronto.dsapp.io, driver mobile applications, optimized dispatch and routing, customer SLA report cards, and Logiwa's cloud-based Warehouse Management System for inventory visibility, ecommerce integration, and mobile scanning. The 2024 launch of RapidRate, an email-to-quote tool, and integrations with third-party partners — Dispatch Science (dispatch), FreightTracer (freight visibility), NavigatorTMS (transportation management), CTSI-Global, FreightPop, and Lighthouz AI — extend platform capability without disclosed in-house AI development. Subsidiaries include wholly-owned Cyclone Courier Service (created 1996 for small freight) and ProntoMD (medical delivery), with named enterprise customers spanning Elliott Electric Supply, HD Supply Utilities, Sherwin Williams Chemical Coatings, Alcon Labs, and Dallas Steel Drums.
