Our story

In 2013, Pandion founder and CEO Scott Ruffin was at Amazon, struggling to get fast, affordable, high-quality delivery for Prime customers through national providers.

When Amazon invested in building its own e-commerce logistics network, Scott helped establish its sortation center network, grow a diversified carrier network that removed dependency on the nationals, and launch postal injection. And then he founded Amazon Air.

Years later, Scott was at the helm of Walmart’s e-commerce transportation team, when, again, his team struggled to get fast, affordable, high-quality delivery through national providers. His former Amazon colleagues — then leading e-commerce transportation teams at other major retailers — were struggling too.  

In 2020, e-commerce sales surged 30% because of the pandemic. Capacity was constrained. Deliveries slowed. Shipping charges increased. Scott left Walmart to build the logistics network that he needed at Amazon and Walmart and that so many others clearly still needed.

He envisioned a parcel network built for residential delivery — unlike those of the national providers built decades ago for delivering to commercial locations. That meant a network that required the level of sophistication that he had helped Amazon build for itself. He saw a parcel network with a deeply diversified mix of carriers, providing multiple delivery options for every package in every zip code — because to build a diversified carrier network is challenging for companies that don't have dedicated teams to do it.

At Pandion, we believe that fast, affordable, high-quality delivery should be accessible to every company and every consumer. And we're building the parcel logistics network that will deliver it.
