Co-op teams up with Quadient to deliver parcel locker convenience
in communities in the UK
Quadient (Euronext: QDT), a
global automation platform powering secure and sustainable business
connections, has partnered with Co-op in the United Kingdom to
deliver further parcel locker growth and added convenience to its
communities, it has revealed today.
The partnership to supply Parcel Pending by
Quadient lockers to Co-op’s stores, aims to align Co-op’s footprint
in the heart of local communities with the continued growth in
consumer demand for safe, secure and accessible parcel lockers.
Parcel Pending by Quadient is a growing network
of intelligent lockers used for deliveries and returns from
significant carriers, including Royal Mail, DPD, Evri, and UPS, as
well as for new services across the UK like convenient key
drop-offs with Keynest.
More than 30 units will initially be installed
at Co-op stores, with the potential for this partnership to grow.
The first lockers will be seen this month at Co-op stores in
Bedford, Bradford, Guildford, Keighley, Liverpool, Stockport,
Swinton, and Telford.
The multicarrier open locker network form part
of Co-op’s strategy to develop added services and enhanced
convenience - creating a compelling customer offer to ensure its
stores are a convenient destination not only for groceries but for
a range of services that meet the needs of local communities.
George Hayworth, Head of Q-Comm
Development, Co-op, said: “We are delighted to partner
with Quadient. Safe, secure and convenient parcel lockers are one
of the ways in which we make things easier and deliver enhanced
convenience for our member-owners and customers. With our stores
conveniently located in high streets and transport hubs, university
campuses and residential developments, parcel lockers can help
local residents and time-pressed consumers pick up or return
parcels at a time that is convenient to them, quickly, easily and
conveniently.”
Katia Bourgeais-Crémel, Director of
Lockers Automation Europe at Quadient said: “We are proud
to collaborate with the Co-op to introduce our open lockers in
their stores. This partnership enables us to offer Co-op customers
a secure and efficient solution for managing parcel deliveries and
returns. Our open locker network is accessed by multiple carriers,
including Royal Mail, DPD, Evri, and UPS, providing even greater
convenience than others in the market. Shoppers can easily collect
or return parcels, whether during a grocery run or as part of their
daily routine, making the process both simple and seamless.”
