  • I Can See Farther. I Can Reach Beyond the Walls of My Home, Office and Store
    I can see farther. I can reach beyond the walls of my home, office and store. 1 2 With one loading dock, I can reach customers around the globe. 3 I can be a local merchant and a citizen of the world. 5 I can gain access to almost anyone or anything on the planet. This used to be the astronauts’ view — now it’s a map of my sales territory. From the day our first customer shipped a box overnight, we’ve been at the leading edge of change. We’ve pioneered packaging and systems, technologies and trade routes. We’ve enabled new ways of working and new business models. We’ve closed the gap between the virtual and physical worlds. All for one reason — to give people access to the goods, information and markets that make their growing expectations possible. Can you see all that’s possible?
