The launch of ParcelPoint NA, a comprehensive Pick-Up Drop-Off (PUDO) network, marks a significant milestone in our ongoing mission to revolutionize retail logistics and enhance the e-commerce experience for consumers and retailers alike.
The Dawn of a New Era in E-Commerce Logistics
The e-commerce sector has experienced unprecedented growth in recent years, fueled by changing consumer behaviors and technological advancements. However, with this growth comes the challenge of managing an ever-increasing volume of parcels efficiently and sustainably.

Our ambitious expansion plan is a testament to our commitment to transforming the logistics landscape in North America. Starting with an initial rollout across 1,400 strategically located PUDO points, we are setting the stage for rapid growth. By the end of 2025, we aim to have a network of 4,000 locations, providing unparalleled coverage and convenience for consumers and retailers across the region.
