UPS (NYSE: UPS) announced today that it has been ranked by Germany’s WirtschaftsWoche business magazine as the Best SME Service Provider 2020 for package delivery based on positive customer reviews from SMEs. UPS took the top spot among seven delivery service providers, underlining the value the company’s smart global logistics network provides to small and medium-sized businesses looking for a growth enabler.
“SMEs generate more than half of Germany’s economic output and 44% of them are active in exports,” said Frank Sportolari, president, UPS Germany. “This award affirms our commitment to supporting businesses of all sizes by connecting them to customers all over the world. We’re proud that our customers value our services, but we’re not going to rest there. Through the coronavirus pandemic, more SMEs than ever have turned to e-commerce to keep trading and to reach new and existing customers. Now that economies are reopening and recovering, we’re ready to help small and medium-sized businesses as they take advantage of new opportunities.”
WirtschaftsWoche commissioned ServiceValue to rank the best SME service providers, examining 376 service providers from 34 sectors. From November 2019 to January 2020, 9,589 decision-makers, buyers and service users in SMEs were surveyed, resulting in 25,768 customer reviews. On a scale of 0 to 100, UPS achieved a score of 70.8, which compares with a sector average of 65.2, with respondents especially satisfied with product and service quality and customer care.

From plug and play e-commerce tools and a wide range of shipping speeds to convenient drop-off and collection points with full end-to-end tracking and customer notifications along each step of the way even across borders, UPS is well positioned to support SMEs grow their business.
