DPD Launches Fresh Products Delivery Service In Portugal
Express transport company DPD Portugal has launched a new home delivery service for fresh food and drinks across mainland Portugal.
The temperature-controlled (between 0° and 4°C) DPD Fresh delivery service is designed to support both producers and distributors to market their fresh products, as well as consumers.
The service includes recording the temperature at the time of delivery and making it available on proof of delivery. It is a very useful feature for businesses, such as grocery stores or the HoReCa sector, the company added.
DPD Fresh
DPD Portugal has invested in strengthening its infrastructure to support DPD Fresh, including its line hauls and logistics platforms, which are all equipped with cold rooms.
The service is available six days a week with deliveries made in the morning after collection, making it the fastest nationwide service available in Portugal.
DPD added that it aims to become a leader in temperature-controlled parcel transport.
Expansion In Europe
Prior to Portugal, DPD rolled out the temperature-controlled delivery service for fresh products successfully in Spain, France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Italy, and Lithuania as part of an expansion process in Europe.
According to an annual analysis carried out by DPD, currently, 71% of online consumers buy ready-to-eat hot and cold food items, and 46% buy ready-to-cook meals.
Additionally, the habits of Portuguese consumers have evolved, with increasing consumption of locally sourced, healthy, dietary, vegan or organic products, while at the same time being concerned with sustainability.
