Posten Norge has created a network of SwipBox Infinity lockers covering 1,500 locations across Norway within just 18 months.
Danish supplier Swipbox described the establishment of the Norwegian network stretching to “well north of the Arctic Circle” as a textbook example of fast implementation of a nationwide parcel locker infrastructure.
With lockers placed conveniently close to customers, in villages and cities alike, Posten Norge follows through with their strategy of making everyday life easier for all Norwegians – with end-user ratings already standing at an impressive 97%.
Fast installation
Camilla De Verdier, Head of Parcel Lockers at Posten Norge, said: “The Infinity solution supports our vision of making everyday life easier and the world smaller. With an installation time of just 15 minutes per parcel locker, we can quickly build dense networks of lockers in locations close to our customers, creating maximum convenience.”
She continued: “Now we want to make the parcel locker network even more dense to further increase customer satisfaction.”
Long battery life
The rollout has been done in close collaboration with SwipBox, who has acted as Posten Norge’s technological and strategic partner, drawing on many years of experience with building parcel locker networks.
SwipBox CEO Jens Rom explained: “We have developed a battery-powered locker which is app-operated and communicates via Bluetooth and therefore needs no wiring at all. This reduces installation time dramatically, enabling customers like Posten Norge to roll out a nationwide network ultra-fast.
He stressed: “In addition, it makes the parcel locker network highly cost-effective. The soaring electricity prices exacerbate the benefits of being independent from power. The SwipBox Infinity locker is solely powered by a battery module with a 10-year life span.”
