WAVE Electronics Launches Same-Day Delivery with Uber Direct

Houston, TX- November 27, 2024 — WAVE Electronics, the leading distributor in the custom audio and video integration market, is thrilled to announce a partnership with Uber Direct, providing same-day delivery options that bring speed and efficiency to our Houston dealers. Now, large integrators and small dealers can count on WAVE to deliver the products they need right to the job site, allowing seamless installations without interruptions. 

Meeting the Demand for Last-Minute Supplies

WAVE Electronics understands the time-sensitive nature of AV integration projects, where equipment can often be misplaced, forgotten, or require immediate replacement. With Uber Direct, WAVE is transforming how these urgent needs are met, offering a delivery option that allows items to be delivered directly from a WAVE branch to the job site on demand by choosing Uber Direct while on the WAVE Electronics website.

WAVE | Uber Direct features:

• On demand, Job-Site Delivery: Same-day delivery ensures integrators have their required components without delays, keeping projects on schedule.
• Reduced Cost and Time: Avoids additional truck roll costs and saves integrators the time of returning to a branch for forgotten parts.
• Minimal restrictions: Delivery within a 20-mile radius, under 50 pounds per item (up to 1000 lbs total), and up to $500 in value.
• Houston Rollout with Expansion Plans: Initially available in 2 WAVE Houston locations beginning November 27, 2024, with plans for a broader roll out in additional WAVE locations.

Chris Collier, Director of Digital Operations for WAVE Electronics, expressed the company’s excitement: “We’re thrilled to continue to reshape the consumer electronics, security and home automation distribution experience by partnering with industry leading technology companies such as Uber. This fully integrated solution will save our dealers countless truck rolls. Through offering same-day delivery with Uber Direct, we’re helping our clients keep projects moving smoothly. We know that time is money in this business, and with Uber Direct, our customers now have a reliable solution that lets them be more responsive and efficient for their clients.”

Bryan Stewart, Chief Sales Officer of WAVE Electronics, added, “Our dealers and integrators now have the ability to respond to urgent needs instantly. This partnership with Uber Direct means we’re bringing a high-value service to our industry that makes a real difference.”

Jake Stein, Head of Retail for Uber Direct, states enabling businesses to grow and operate more seamlessly and efficiently was at the heart of the partnership. Stein said, “At Uber Direct we’re able to leverage our delivery technology and expertise to help other businesses move goods with the speed and reliability of Uber, which lets them focus on delivering the best for their customer.”

With a simple process integrated directly on the WAVE Electronics website, customers can select Uber Direct during checkout, allowing an Uber courier to pick up the item for delivery. This seamless solution lets installers stay on-site, saving valuable time and enabling WAVE dealers to maintain focus on quality installations.
