Save Your Parcel has seen its 2020 turnover double for the fourth year in a row. More than a thousand webshops used the parcel delivery company's services last year, an increase of no less than 1,300 per cent.
"We are a tech company operating in logistics. That means our way of working is agile and scalable. But of course it was also unprecedentedly busy for us," CEO Sam Rohn looks back on last corona year.
VanavondBezorgd for small webshops
In 2020, the parcel delivery company launched a new service for small and medium-sized webshops: VanavondBezorgd. Webshops using VanavondBezorgd have to deliver their parcels themselves at one of about 200 drop-off points. If this happens before 13:00, Red je Pakketje will deliver the parcel to the consumer the same evening. According to the company, the platform collaborates with many retailers that previously did not sell online.
All-electric
Not only corona measures have contributed to Red je Pakketje's sales increase. Webshops are also said to be responding positively to the company's ambition to deliver entirely electrically, aiming to operate completely carbon-free by the end of 2022. To this end, funding of EUR 12.5 million was raised. The delivery company is investing this amount in 210 electric delivery vans and one of the largest charging plazas in the Netherlands.
