LAS VEGAS, Aug. 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Devin Johnson, a leader in the eCommerce parcel and shipping industry, today announced the purchase of FirstMile. Johnson, the company's founder and CEO will continue to lead the company.

"With the purchase of FirstMile and its sister company, our clients will benefit by our reclaiming original ownership of FirstMile and continuing its growth and optimization as a domestic and international carrier" explained Devin Johnson, Chief Executive Officer and owner of FirstMile and ShipNetwork. "This acquisition is a reinvestment in our commitment to support small, medium and large eCommerce companies in today's challenging supply chain climate."

FirstMile provides a one-stop-shop for eCommerce shipping; clients have access to multiple delivery networks through one, simple interface and one-point of pick-up.

"For all of our clients, our goal remains the same: provide speedy deliveries at affordable rates to eCommerce customers," Johnson explained. "In our business, the ability to scale is extremely important, and as a result of this acquisition, the addition of this shipping volume will benefit all of our 3PL partners and eCommerce clients."

"FirstMile will gain added density and volume as a result of our expanded reach through ShipNetwork," said Johnson. "Our clients will benefit from our increased ability to reach deeper into regional and postal carrier networks. End of the day, that translates into both improved service and a reduction in costs to all our clients."
