ParcelXchange Worldwide success in France
Business Direct, the UK’s leading developer of ‘intelligent drop box’ logistics solutions, has commenced a trial of the ParcelXchange with Ciblex in France. This comes only a short time after the company decided to offer national Post Offices and local logistics service providers outside the UK access to its intelligent advanced technology.
Ciblex is the leading pre-8am parts delivery provider in France, formerly part of the successful Hays Group of companies. After researching the supplier market, Ciblex recognised the dynamic capability and benefits of the ParcelXchange modular locker system as a perfect solution to complement their existing network. They strongly believe that the ParcelXchange will add a dynamic and innovative solution to give them competitive advantage within their growing supply chain capability.
ParcelXchange will provide Ciblex’s customers the benefit of 24/7 convenience, with completely secure and controlled access for both the collecting and returning of goods through the Ciblex delivery network. The specific nature of the new modular style ParcelXchange offers the potential to have as many different configurations as each of the individual locations within the Ciblex network needs.
Ciblex already has over 400 locations with key lockers but feels that the addition of real time reporting and secure ATM access will help their existing B2B business and also with their B2C business. The company believes that the ParcelXchanges will provide a cost-effective consolidation of the deliveries, while maintaining their already high levels of customer service.
Teddy Megarbane, Ciblex President, stated, “The new modular intelligent ParcelXchange is the most exciting opportunity to happen in the in-night real-time inventory management sector in France for a long time. This is another example of Ciblex continuous investment in the business and this innovative new modular locker system with its SoftLocker ATM style technology, supplied by ParcelXchange Worldwide will ensure we are well positioned to constantly meet the growing needs of our customers”.
“We have produced a cost effective, sustainable, flexible solution for the ‘last mile’ in the delivery process,” says Business Direct’s ParcelXchange Worldwide MD, Tim Houstoun. “Ciblex now has the opportunity for an even greater competitive advantage in their B2B marketplace for deliveries and managing returns and in developing a network of ParcelXchanges, can also engage in using the system network for other B2C, consumer to consumer (C2C) services.”
