Spain’s Correos Express has launched new products to enhance services for one of its core customer segments and to improve its offering for online purchases.
A subsidiary of Spanish postal group Correos, the express delivery company is targeting the optical market with the launch of two new products specially designed for the sector’s requirements.
The OptiBox10 product is a pre-paid box containing up to 10 shipments destined for delivery for end-customers. The OptiBag15 is a B2B product offering delivery of objects and small consignments to opticians, manufacturers and distributors for a reduced price. Both products include special packaging for safe transportation and include tracking options.
Correos Express said the new products are the result of 20 years’ experience making daily deliveries to some 8,500 optical businesses across Spain.
Meanwhile, the express operator has also incorporated an ‘Advanced Digital Signature’ option to its services, enabling signature of a distance-based contract to be certified with full legal application. In addition, delivery staff can instantly check the identity of the recipient by comparing the signature with that on an ID card.
The company said that the service is the most secure on the market to verify the authenticity of an identity document, thus reducing fraud at the point of delivery.
Correos Express is specialised in urgent deliveries within 24 hours and offers three time-definite products: Paq 10 for next-day deliveries by 10.00; Paq 14 for next-day deliveries before 14.00; and Paq 24 for deliveries within 24 hours. Parent company Correos offers two deferred parcel delivery products, Paq 48 and Paq 72, providing delivery within 48 and 72 hours respectively.
The product portfolio was launched last year together with the re-branding from the former name of Chronoexprés. Correos Express, with 3,000 staff, has a network of 52 branches and a fleet of 1,800 vehicles.
