BOCA RATON, Fla., Oct. 14, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- Pony Express U.S.A., Inc. (OTCBB:PYXP), an emerging business delivery solutions provider, announced today it has refocused its business strategy by streamlining its customer base and internal operations making it a more viable operation according to Peter Ticktin, President and CEO.
"After conducting an intensive review of our business, we believe we can create better shareholder value for the long term by targeting businesses who are seeking our kind of distribution and fulfillment services such as the distribution of plants in major garden centers as opposed to the narrow options currently presented by DHL, FedEx, UPS and others," said Ticktin. "Although we have chosen to eliminate a number of our customers from our roster due to lack of logistical profitability, we have retained our best customers giving us a strong foundation on which to grow our company."
Ticktin said the company's formula for providing delivery solutions does not solely revolve around price but also factors in how many packages a customer is shipping, the weight of each package and other factors as well. This is the reason why the company is targeting "Destination Driven Sales," a term coined by Ticktin, which reflects the company's desire to provide distribution and fulfillment of multiple packages from a customer to one location.
