MetaPack and JDA Software report 35% jump in parcel volumes
E-commerce delivery management provider MetaPack and JDA Software, a specialist in end-to-end, integrated retail omni-channel and supply chain solutions, have announced a 35% jump in year-on-year deliveries made across their platforms. The figure is almost three times higher than the cumulative year on year volume growth rate (which at the end of September was at 13.6%) for dispatched orders across the UK’s e-retail sector.
“This fantastic growth is not just indicative of a general expansion in the UK eCommerce market, especially amongst some of our own retail customers, but more particularly the focus that eCommerce Directors are now placing on high quality, on-time delivery services that meet consumers’ needs and also support profitability,” said Bruce Fair, Chief Revenue Officer at MetaPack.
“The levels of sophistication and functionality that both the JDA and MetaPack platforms offer means that omni-channel retailers can take advantage of recent innovations such as same day delivery, lockers and pick-up points thus improving consumer loyalty and ultimately increasing delivery volumes.”
A number of the UK’s leading retail omni-channel brands are using both JDA and MetaPack solutions for their deliveries, including ASOS, House of Fraser, John Lewis, Wiggle, Marks & Spencer, Sports Direct, Halfords and Tesco.
