ASOS signs up for Connect Group’s Pass My Parcel
Connect Group has today (13 January) released its latest trading results and announced that the online fashion retailer ASOS has signed up as the second customer for its Pass My Parcel click & collect service.
Pass My Parcel was launched in October 2014 with Amazon as its first client.
Connect Group reported today that the arrangement with ASOS will begin with an initial trial in 20 retail outlets, and will then be rolled out across the remaining 3,000 outlets over the coming months.
In its statement today, Connect Group said that Pass My Parcel delivered an “excellent operational performance” over the peak Christmas period and remains on track with its current expansion plans.
“The launch of a mobile enabled returns collection service, with a QR (Quick Response) code sent to customers’ mobile phones, is the next step in the Group’s strategy to grow Pass My Parcel,” added Connect Group.
The Group’s overall performance was described as being “in line with management expectations”, with total Group revenues increasing 6.4% compared to the same period last year. The Connect Parcel Freight division turned in a strong performance, with total and like-for-like revenues both increasing by 12.1%.
