Jetbeep and Omniva announce five-year partnership, covering Picapac parcel lockers in Baltics

Jetbeep, which provides software for autonomous parcel lockers, has inked a five-year strategic partnership with Omniva, the national postal operator of Estonia, providing technology for its Picapac network of community lockers in the Baltics.

The lockers provide last mile delivery options and lay claim to a high first time delivery success rate and reduced costs. Each unit serves between 50 and 100 families, with most placed within 300 metres of households.

Picapac will now provide serial production of Jetbeep’s community lockers in Estonia, with pilots planned in Latvia and Lithuania.

“The first order - 150 lockers, of which 100 will serve as public service points - has been placed. The lockers should be ready by the end of November or early December, after which installation will begin immediately,” says Martti Kuldma, CEO at Omniva.

“Within five years, we want to reach about two thousand community parcel lockers across Estonia, and within ten years, we aim for nearly every household in Estonia to have a locker within 300 metres.”

“We’re proud to support Omniva and Picapac in creating one of Europe’s most innovative locker networks, setting a new standard for last mile delivery,” adds Valery Chekalkin, CEO at Jetbeep.

“Our Community Locker is a true game-changer: it not only extends Omniva’s network with alternative lockers but also makes it more efficient by moving closer to customers with smaller units while reducing operational costs. This gives Omniva a strong competitive advantage - not just by adding lockers, but by redefining how the last mile can operate.”

2025 RTIH INNOVATION AWARDS

Last mile delivery 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.
