Quadient notches up milestone of 10,000 smart locker units in North America and 18,000 worldwide

Quadient reports that it has more than 10,000 parcel locker units in operation in the United States and Canada and a total of 18,000 units globally.

It puts this down to continued demand for Parcel Pending by Quadient smart lockers in major higher education and residential campuses, and also the steady expansion of Lowe’s installations in now nearly 2,000 stores in the United States and Canada.

The firm also believes that the launch of an Oversize Lockers offering for fulfilment and delivery of large goods will enhance the delivery experience for consumers shopping for building materials and sporting equipment to furniture and gardening tools.

"We are delighted to have achieved this milestone and are proud to be recognised as a market leader in smart parcel management solutions by our North American customers," says Geoffrey Godet, CEO at Quadient.

"Our focus on addressing the evolving needs of our customers through constant innovation and our team’s long-term experience and expertise on smart lockers installation, maintenance, operation and implementation strategy, are key enablers of our growth in North America and in all the global markets where we operate."

Quadient is expanding its operations in Europe through the development in the UK of its carrier agnostic open network of lockers and the recent launch of the Drop Box and optional printer unit to address the needs for convenient and cost-efficient returns management offers.

The company continues to focus on France and Japan, its historic markets, working with brands in retail such as Decathlon and Carrefour, and carriers such as Yamato Transport, Sagawa, Relais Colis, Evri, DPD and DHL.

"We are confident that our continued efforts to create and roll-out relevant innovations leveraging the feedback from our key customers will enable us to maintain our position as a market leader in smart parcel lockers,” says Benoit Berson, Chief Solution Officer, Parcel Locker Solutions at Quadient.

“We will continue to focus on delivering superior solutions that meet the ever-changing needs of our customers.”
