Poste Italiane has launched the “fresh” express courier service for the home delivery of fresh food products thanks to the partnership between its subsidiary MLK Deliveries , Mazzocco Srl, a company of the Italtrans logistics systems group.
The new service is already operational in many cities including Rome, Milan, Turin, Bologna and Florence. Fresh deliveries will soon be extended to all major capital cities.
Deliveries on the day and time chosen by the customer
Food products purchased online, which will travel in refrigerated vehicles, will be delivered to your home on the day and time chosen by the customer. It is possible too choose to pick up the package at a "fresh" point, instead of at the address previously indicated, reporting the change online up to 30 minutes before the delivery time initially established on the tracking page that the recipient receives via text message and email for each shipment.
THEalliance between the two companies combines the technology of MLK Deliveries, which will receive customer reservations for scheduled deliveries, with the Mazzocco cold logistics platform.
Poste Italiane thus expands the range of logistics services linked to eCommerce by seizing the opportunities offered by the continuous rise of the food and wine sector, which has seen the value of online purchases triple in the last four years.
The agreement with Deutsche Post DHL Group
A few days ago Poste Italiane also concluded a important agreement in the international market of parcels by signing a partnerships many years in the logistics and e-commerce sectors with Deutsche Post DHL Group. The agreement based on four key points will allow Poste Italiane to connect "Italian customers to international markets in the best possible way, with shipments to and from abroad and a network of latest generation automatic lockers, in addition to e-commerce solutions already existing".
