UPS has launched the UPS Secure Commerce suite, a set of supply chain tools designed to help businesses manage logistics risks. The platform integrates shipping insurance, asset protection, and technology to secure global e-commerce operations.
Why it matters
As global retail e-commerce sales hit $6.4 trillion in 2025, merchants face rising pressure to combat fraud, which consumed roughly 3.2% of e-commerce revenue last year. This suite provides the real-time visibility needed to make immediate decisions amidst growing supply chain vulnerabilities.
UPS provided protection for 1.4 million shippers and insured 62 million packages in 2025. The company reports that 97% of claims were resolved in five days or less, providing a benchmark for operational efficiency in logistics protection.
