UPS, a world-leading logistics company, has announced the launch of a new automated locker delivery service in over 300 locations nationwide, in partnership with French company, Quadient, a major global operator of smart parcel locker open networks. This partnership will enable UPS to develop its network of UPS Access Points throughout France, contributing to the reduction of its last mile impact.
UPS and Quadient announced their strategic partnership, giving UPS access to Quadient’s parcel locker open network throughout France. This collaboration will enable UPS to complement its French pickup points network, currently the logistic company’s largest in Europe, comprising more than six 150 UPS Access Points. Quadient, whose parcel locker business already boasts over 1,000 units in France, is continuing to rollout its open network available to the various parcel logistic players.
The development of this new locker solution ensures greater flexibility for customers: no constraints on time or location, thanks to a large presence throughout France’s both urban and regional areas. Together, the two players are actively working to identify the best locations for UPS, based on existing parcel delivery volumes and constraints.
“We are thrilled about our partnership with Quadient. The smart locker solution addresses the increasing demand for flexibility in our customer deliveries, all while aligning with a more responsible approach,” said Franck Edeline, Director of UPS France Operations.
