Itella tests automated parcel terminal also in Estonia
Itella is the first in Estonia to test an automated parcel terminal, which offers a new way for consumers to pick up their parcels. The three-month pilot project will be launched in co-operation with Hobby Hall on 10 March in Tallinn’s Rimi shopping centre.
‘Itella Logistics operates in eight countries. Until now, the national postal operator of the destination country has been the primary party in charge of delivering Itella’s parcels to consumers outside Finland. The automated parcel terminal pilot is the first step for us toward delivering parcels to consumers through our own network even outside Finland. We will test the functionality of the automated parcel terminal concept in Estonia in the same way as in the pilot project in Itäkeskus, Helsinki, announced a week ago. It has received very positive feedback,’ explains Aku Happo, the director of Itella’s Express and Parcel Business.
At the same time, Itella will launch delivery of parcels in Estonia through R-kiosks – within a month, co-operation will commence with three indoor R-kiosks in Tallinn.
