Global smart locker specialist Quadient has announced the launch of Oversize Lockers, an automated fulfillment solution tailored to industries which need to deliver extra-large and oversized goods to their customers.
The new model expands the range of products that can be picked up from a locker, fitting most online purchases and fully integrating with other existing Parcel Pending by Quadient locker solutions.
European expansion planned
Oversize Lockers are especially suited for retailers, distributors and multifamily communities that want to manage more delivery types and sizes, from building materials and sporting equipment to furniture and gardening tools. These lockers are now available in the US, Canada, UK and Ireland and will be available in other European countries in the coming months.
Parcel Pending by Quadient Oversize Lockers are scalable and customisable with a single-door large compartment or with three compartments. The locker solution delivers 24/7 access with indoor and outdoor durability and integrates with the apps and websites of retailers, distributors, multifamily communities and other businesses.
Oversize Lockers meet changing consumer demands
“As e-commerce has rapidly expanded, consumers expect to be able to conveniently and quickly pick up or return products of all sizes. The new Parcel Pending by Quadient Oversize Lockers help retailers and multifamily communities meet this demand. Additionally, Oversize Lockers support distributors who want to provide fast fulfillment of orders so their contractor and professional trade customer base can quickly get back to their job sites,” Benoit Berson, chief solution officer, Parcel Locker Solutions, Quadient, said.
“Parcel Pending by Quadient Oversize Lockers offer a convenient, self-service option for pickups and returns that enhances the user experience, reduces service counter queues and gets inventory back on shelves faster,” he added.
Last week, Quadient announced that it has partnered with DHL Parcel UK, following its partnership with DPD UK in July. Both partnerships follow Quadient’s announcement about the UK expansion in June as part of which it aims to launch a large-scale parcel locker network in the UK to take on InPost and other competitors.
Quadient operates nearly 16,900 locker systems worldwide, with thousands of businesses relying on Quadient’s carrier-agnostic parcel locker solutions.
