LetMeShip launches Parcelkiosk in Germany

German-based multi-carrier delivery platform LetMeShip has introduced a new all-in-one device for parcel shipping called “Parcelkiosk“ in Germany which will be presented at the LogiMAT trade fair in Stuttgart from 13 to 15 March.

Based on software, the sizing and measuring device provides a complete system for handling parcels for post offices, parcel terminals, parcel shops and offices which includes sizing, weighing, pricing and labelling.

Thanks to digital scales and ultrasonic sensors, measuring and weighing is conducted in a fully automatic way. The accuracy of data is ensured and errors in the dispatch data can thus be reduced to a minimum. The data is fed directly into LetMeShip's shipping service provider interface via the directly connected software Parcelrate. A shipping service provider can thus be selected in an automatic way based on the measured data. By connecting a label printer (A4 or thermal label), the process can be further automated.

At the end of the process, the label is attached to the parcel. The chosen service provider will be notified automatically to collect the parcel.

Just in time for LogiMAT, the nationwide distribution of the Parcelkiosk in Germany is also starting this month, in cooperation with LetMeShip’s sales partner Hefter Systemform.

“We are pleased to offer such an innovative and high-performance solution especially for small and medium-sized companies. Automation processes, especially in logistics, are otherwise very costly and time-consuming. With Parcelkiosk, you have the four steps of shipping in one product: sizing and weighing, shipping rate selection and labelling. The simple operation in combination with the sizing device and the shipping software makes every shipping process a child’s game ", Mark Winkelmann, Managing Director of LetMeShip, said.

“After a successful pilot phase, we are pleased to use LogiMAT as a kick-off for the nationwide sales launch in Germany," Rohan Mathur from Parcelkiosk added.

As Germany’s leading price comparison and booking platform for courier, express and parcel (CEP) services serving more than 20,000 business customers, LetMeShip pools demand and offers reduced delivery rates. Customers can book multiple carriers on a single platform but only have one customer account number, receive a single invoice and have a single archive. Partner carriers in the different markets include leading players such as DHL, TNT, UPS, FedEx, DPD, Hermes, Chronopost and Aramex.

LetMeShip is the trading name of ITA Shipping GmbH, a sister company of ITA Consulting GmbH, which operates CEP-Research.
