A modern technological background is essential for the successful operation of FMCG logistics. Digital route planning, real-time tracking, automated warehouse management and IoT-based systems are now indispensable for efficient operations.

explains sales and marketing director László Varga.

DPD has a customised solution for FMCG companies, based on two key areas for more efficient logistics: Passive Cooling ensures next-day delivery of food with passive temperature control and reversible delivery if necessary, while the Wine Logistics concept was developed specifically for the shipping of bottled products.

emphasises Zoltán Radeczky, managing director of both companies.

FOXPOST parcel lockers are an ideal alternative for delivering FMCG products.

The network of more than 3,500 parcel lockers and 1,000 pick-up points can be easily integrated into the digital systems of partners.

Accelerating fulfilment market

Manual processes remain one of the biggest challenges in the logistics sector: they are expensive, slow and involve a significant risk of error, which can result in a serious competitive disadvantage. Most market players, manufacturers and wholesalers operating in this field don’t have sufficient capital for automation, so there is a growing demand for modern, automated fulfilment services. Boxy is shaping its operations to meet these needs market.
