Yodel has partnered with specialist sortation company Hexapole to optimise sorting capability for small parcels at their Shaw sortation centre in Oldham. 

The acquisition of the innovative sorting system will help Yodel meet increased demand following the rise of online retail.

Carl Moore, Yodel Chief Operations Officer said: “This investment in equipment and tech will help deliver improvements in flow as well as reduce parcel handling by our colleagues. 

“Since its installation, the operational benefits have been immediate.”

Hexapole previously supplied Yodel with the first Small Parcel Sorter on site at the Hatfield sort centre. 

As the number of parcels flowing through the system kept growing, Yodel decided to install a second Small Parcel Sorter at their Shaw centre to help cope with the increased volume.
