Bloq.it and Vinted Go smart locker technology partnership expands to Spain and Portugal with Madrid up first

Smart locker specialist, Bloq.it, will be powerering Vinted Go, the dedicated logistics brand of Vinted Group, as it expands into Spain and Portugal.

Bloq.it is already Vinted Go’s partner of smart locker hardware and software in France, where it has deployed over 5,000 parcel lockers throughout the country. Vinted Go’s delivery solution and Bloq.it technology will go live first in Madrid in mid May, followed by Lisbon later in the year. 

Miha Jagodic, CEO at Bloq.it, says: “As a company founded and headquartered in Portugal, it’s particularly meaningful for us to support Vinted Go’s Iberia launch. We’re proud to bring our technology home and give users throughout these countries access to a smarter and more convenient way of sending and receiving parcels.”

Vytautas Atkocaitis, VP at Vinted Go, says: “We see vast potential for growth throughout Spain and Portugal. Our aim is to provide the most cost-efficient and convenient shipping solutions, making it easier for our members to trade second-hand items across Europe. This launch marks an exciting step in our journey, and we look forward to kicking off some new partnerships that will help us reach even more people and places.”

2025 RTIH INNOVATION AWARDS

Smart locker technology will be a key focus area at the 2025 RTIH Innovation Awards.

The awards, which are now open for entries, celebrate global tech innovation in a fast moving omnichannel world.

Our 2024 hall of fame entrants were revealed during an event which took place at RIBA’s 66 Portland Place HQ in Central London on 21st November, and consisted of a drinks reception, three course meal, and awards ceremony presided over by comedian Lucy Porter.

In his welcome speech, Scott Thompson, Founder and Editor, RTIH, said: “The event is now into its sixth year and what a journey it has been. The awards started life as an online only affair during the Covid outbreak, before launching as a small scale in real life event and growing year on year to the point where we’re now selling out this fine, historic venue.”

He added: “Congratulations to all of our finalists. Many submissions did not make it through to the final stage, and getting to this point is no mean feat. Checkout-free stores, automated supply chains, immersive experiences, on-demand delivery, next generation loyalty offerings, inclusive retail, green technology. We’ve got all the cool stuff covered this evening.”

“But just importantly we’ve got lots of great examples of companies taking innovative tech and making it usable in everyday operations - resulting in more efficiency and profitability in all areas.”

Congratulations to our 2024 winners, and a big thank you to our sponsors, judging panel, the legend that is Lucy Porter, and all those who attended November's gathering.
