UPS announced yesterday afternoon the launch of UPS Proactive ResponseTMSecure, an industry-first insurance service and holistic risk management solution for time- and/or temperature-sensitive and high-value products.

The solution combines Flexible Parcel Insurance offered by UPS Capital® Insurance Agency, Inc. with UPS Proactive Response® proactive monitoring and intervention services for high-value and temperature-sensitive healthcare shipments. It covers products up to the selling price when unexpected events occur – including weather delays - and also covers expedited shipping services. It will be offered in the U.S. and outbound to Europe; additional details can be found in the press release below.

In addition, UPS has recently expanded its healthcare services globally. Earlier this week, UPS opened a 245,000-square foot healthcare-dedicated facility in Louisville to meet the needs of the growing healthcare industry. We have photos of the new facility if you are interested. And, UPS is further enhancing its risk-management solutions to meet growing global demand. It has recently:

  • Expanded UPS Proactive Response® service into Europe;

  • Added Next Flight Out services from UPS Express Critical to provide another option for fast, convenient expedited delivery;

  • Expanded dry ice replenishment and refrigeration to select destination locations through the entire shipment’s journey; and

  • Expanded its UPS Proactive Response® control towers in Europe and Asia.
