Quiet Platforms, a wholly owned subsidiary of American Eagle Outfitters Inc. (NYSE: AEO), and Fanatics, a leading provider of licensed sports merchandise and global digital sports platform, today announced an expansion of their partnership, first launched in May 2022, to enable same-day and next-day delivery of Fanatics orders to customers in 11 additional U.S. markets. Fanatics customers in Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Dallas and St. Louis can already choose these fast delivery options, and the expanded partnership will see Fanatics extend the service to Houston, New York, Phoenix, San Francisco and Seattle next year.
“We began working with Fanatics a few months ago and this expansion demonstrates the value of our partnership and our ability to be a key contributor of the brand’s growth across products, services and geographies,” said Shekar Natarajan, EVP, Chief Supply Chain Officer of AEO Inc., who also leads Quiet Platforms. “This extended partnership will also enable Quiet Platforms to offer same-day and next-day national delivery to other brand customers within our connected network.”
“Fanatics is pleased to expand our partnership with Quiet Platforms and provide more of our U.S. customers with same-day and next-day delivery options,” said Lonnie Phillips, Chief Customer Officer, Fanatics. “We are constantly looking to improve customer experience and by leveraging Quiet Platforms’ technology and fulfillment and logistics network we are able to better meet faster delivery expectations.”
Under the extended partnership, Quiet Platforms continues to innovate the traditional shipping and logistics market with its technology-enabled shared supply chain platform and nationwide fulfillment and delivery network.
