3SI Group invests €15m in Mondial Relay mechanisation programme

The 3SI Group has introduced a €15m plan to mechanise all of its Mondial Relay branches and boost their parcel handling capabilities. A statement published on its website of parent company Otto Group on Monday (11 January), said that investment plan will enable the e-commerce shipping specialist Mondial Relay “to install cutting edge tools and facilities in every branch”.

The scheme has three key objectives:

  • To enhance the quality of parcel sorting and traceability
  • To boost production capacity
  • To check the weight and volume of each parcel.

Commenting on the investment programme, Antoine Pottiez, the Chairman of Mondial Relay, said: “This scheme will enable us to increase our flows processing capacity, to keep our parcels safe and secure and to deliver a higher quality service to our customers.

“We’re sending out a strong signal to other market players, confirming the trust placed in us by online retailers.”

Mondial Relay’s branches in Lyon and Nice were the first to become mechanised in October 2015 – and the 3SI Group said that they have “already delivered clearly discernible results”.
According to the company: “Ergonomics and productivity have made a huge leap forward, with a 40% greater capacity to process additional flows coupled with the optimisation of parcel traceability. “
The statement added that “all of Mondial Relay’s branches in France will be fitted out by 2017 at the latest”.
The company has more than 20 branches, located at: Nantes, Lieusaint, Toulouse, Metz, Saint Ouen, Rennes, Brive, Valence, Bordeaux, Blois, Lille, Montreuil, Reims, Caen, Rouen, Chambéry, Marseille, Clermont- Ferrand, Dijon, Montpellier, Metz and Strasbourg.
