Pickup from the box – the next morning!

Short lead times have now become a strategic factor and play a significant role in ensuring that domestic online stores remain competitive against international players. GLS offers a logistics development that provides tangible advantages for retailers.

Expanding ATM network

When GLS Automatic Express was introduced, more than four hundred Budapest ATMs were connected to the system, and this number has now exceeded five hundred. Coverage is no longer limited to the capital: Halásztelek, Ráckeve, Szigethalom, Szigetszentmiklós and Tököl have also been included in the express network. The aim of the development is to make morning parcel collection available to as many customers as possible and to open up the possibility of fast automatic delivery in an increasingly wider area.

When designing the system, it was important that the new service work in line with the existing logistics infrastructure. GLS relies on a network of more than two thousand couriers, nearly ninety depots, a central sorting plant and several thousand delivery points, which provides a suitable basis for meeting short delivery deadlines. The stable background also allows retailers to deliver orders received during the day on the same day, and the package to reach the recipient the next morning.

Only conveniently

For years, customers have been increasingly demanding predictable, reliable collection options. In addition to the popularity of automated delivery, there has also been an effort to make the package available early in the day, especially among people living in urban areas. GLS Automatic Express supports this changing customer expectation: the morning collection of packages makes the day more plannable, and the speed of the logistics process is a real advantage for both senders and recipients.

The operation of the service also includes an additional feature: the next-day morning delivery is valid for shipments sent from any settlement nationwide, as long as the automatic delivery machine designated as the destination is part of the express network.

Strengthening trust

The next-day morning collection of a package delivered on the day of the order fits well with the current challenges of the domestic e-commerce environment. Speed ​​in this case is not just a convenience aspect, but a competitive advantage that can significantly influence customer decisions. Operational data and user feedback collected since the introduction of GLS Automata Express show that the demand for short lead times is growing, and morning delivery fits well with this trend.

Fast access is particularly beneficial for those who want to seamlessly integrate collection into their daily routines, or for whom it is important to receive the ordered product as soon as possible. The service not only shortens the delivery time, but also makes everyday life easier, which can also strengthen trust in online stores in the long term.
