Itamar Lamdan, Businesss Development Manager at ORIAN says: “With the SwipBox Infinity lockers we are going to offer a user friendly and innovative service to serve online shoppers in Israel as well as all carriers operating in the Israeli market. E-commerce is booming, and with this new generation of parcel lockers we can get closer to where people live and work and thereby meet the increasing demand for last mile delivery options from the market.”
The parcel lockers will be located at housing associations, gas stations, shopping malls etc.
Mark Yeoman, Commercial Development Manager at SwipBox, says: “Our partnership with ORIAN shows the strong demand for the SwipBox Infinity solution in the market.
