CLICK-AND-COLLECT
DPD teams up with HubBox The partnership enables online retailers to offer a click-and-collect service without going through a lengthy bespoke development process.
P
arcel firm DPD has partnered with retail tech company HubBox to let retailers offer the option of a delivery straight to a customer's nearest DPD Pickup shop at checkout. The new initiative means retailers can easily integrate HubBox's plug-and-play software into their ecommerce website, giving their customers the option to search for and select a convenient DPD Pickup location that suits them. Elaine Kerr, Chief Executive at DPD UK, said: "We talk to online shoppers all the time and we know they like our Pickup network with bigger name stores and greater accessibility. As a result, we've seen a growth in the number of parcels going into our shops and this is a really smart way of helping retailers meet that growing demand for click-and-collect." Sam Jarvis, Chief Executive and Founder of HubBox, added: "By using our software, retailers can get up and running in a matter of hours rather than going through a lengthy bespoke development process."
