Omniva opening up Baltics parcel machine network to partners
Omniva has announced that, from next year, it will be opening up its parcel machine network in the Baltic countries to partners companies. “Omniva has the biggest parcel machine network in Estonia, as well as in the Baltics and we can see that opening it up for other partners will boost the ever-growing e-commerce,” commented Ansi Arumeel, the Member of the Board at Omniva.
“Although some might see sharing our network as giving up our competitive advantage, we as a business believe in the driving force of collaboration, and not in establishing competitive infrastructures. Therefore, we decided to take the first step in advancing collaboration.”
In order to open up its parcel machine network in Estonia, Lithuania and in Latvia to partner companies, Omniva is developing new software. Alongside these technological preparations, Omniva said that it is also “holding first negotiations with interested companies regarding using the network”.
Arumeel added: “Our goal is to bring the service as close to our customers as possible and to make the whole process of receiving parcels as convenient as possible. Expanding the network and opening it up for others to use is yet another step towards achieving this.”
Omniva currently has more than 200 parcel machines operating in the Baltics and it is set to expand the network further in the autumn. The Omniva group includes AS Eesti Post as the parent company, subsidiaries AS Maksekeskus, UAB Omniva LT in Lithuania, and SIA Omniva in Latvia, as well as the related company Post11 OÜ, which provides e-commerce traders with international logistical solutions.
