Parcel machines to be placed next to Lidl shops
26 October 2018
“ Cooperation with Lidl Polska is an important stage in the expansion of the Parcel Machines network based on partnerships with retail operators. New, attractive locations of our infrastructure will allow us to even better reach of our services to customers - especially in smaller towns. The e-commerce market is growing by more than 20 per cent every year, and we are even growing twice as fast - which can be seen in the volumes of parcels delivered. Paczkomaty InPost is not only one of the most convenient and fastest forms of delivery - the They allow retail outlets and petrol stations to increase turnover by up to 10%. This is why cooperation with the retail sector is a natural development stage for us. In parallel, we are building up a network of Lodkomats, which will be an important competitive advantage for food chains in the future." - Rafał Brzoska, CEO of InPost, said.
Between January and September 2018, InPost delivered more than 53 million parcels, a 48.8% increase year-on-year - of which Parcel Post recorded a 49% increase and courier InPost by 48%.
"Lidl Poland is a company that is growing all the time. Last year we introduced two innovative projects: the wine booking platform www.winnicalidla.pl and www.lidlpodroze.pl, an online service through which our customers can buy trips. The next step at the e-commerce level is to test cooperation with InPost and the placement of Parcel Machines at selected Lidl outlets. We hope that, like our other concepts, the easily accessible Parcel Machines ® will appeal to our customers and they will be eager to use them as we continue to develop our services." - comments Aleksandra Robaszkiewicz, Communications Manager at Lidl Polska.
