PostNord Finland aims to roll out the Infinity parcel lockers of the Danish parcel terminal operator SwipBox outdoors across the country to bring more convenience to Finnish consumers.
The postal company already operates the Swipbox lockers as part of an existing and indoor based parcel locker infrastructure and believes that an outdoor network will be a good addition to this.
The SwipBox Infinity network will initially be rolled out in a few cities and then further expanded.
The SwipBox Infinity lockers are operated by Bluetooth via apps and run on batteries which makes them easy and fast to install as there is no need for an external electricity source or an instant internet connection.
“We are the first to roll out this innovative solution in Finland, bringing new technology to the market. Because they are battery-driven, Infinity parcel lockers can be placed anywhere so we can place them close to where people live, making it as convenient as possible for the public to pick up parcels,” Johanna Starck, CEO at PostNord Finland, said.
“The fact that these parcel lockers are operated completely via intuitive apps and you don’t have to touch a screen has been a huge plus especially in these Covid-19 times,” Starck continued.
Mark Yeoman, Commercial Development Manager at SwipBox, commented: “We are convinced that PostNord Finland will set up a successful parcel locker network adding convenience for the end users in Finland. We’re really excited about this move and the fact that PostNord has now launched the Infinity network in all Nordic countries. “
SwipBox is headquartered in Denmark and has additional offices in Pakistan, Poland and Australia.
