Evri is one of four international carriers that have joined the Quadient smart locker open network in the UK. 

The open locker network already accounts for about 300 locker stations in operation, with plans to reach 5,000 units in the coming years at the pace of about 200 new locations per month.

Evri is set to be the first carrier to offer the Drop Box and Printer capability to its customers.

In the coming months, Quadient will make the Drop Box and Printer available to retailers and other carriers across Europe and in North America.

The new Drop Box and Printer is being presented by Quadient and Evri in London at the UK e-commerce industry’s main event, The Delivery Conference. Visit Quadient at Stand No. 11 to learn more.

Ian Caminsky, SVP & MD Parcel Locker Solutions DACHIT-UKI, Quadient said:

“Quadient is leveraging its long-standing experience in Japan, France, the US and the UK to bring to market innovations that focus on creating operational efficiencies and eliminating time consuming processes. We are honoured to have Evri as our first integrated carrier to use this new feature to easily manage their first mile flows and deliver exceptional customer experiences to online shoppers.”

Kath Gill, Head of Out of Home at Evri, said:

“We’re delighted to expand our out of home network with Quadient’s smart locker network, taking advantage of new locker technology. It will increase the convenience of sending by allowing customers to print a label directly from the locker 24/7, which is great for customers who can’t print at home and means that Quadient’s locker network offers the same services as our ParcelShops. The Drop Box functionality provides a quick and simple way for small businesses to send multiple parcels in one go and maximises the number of parcels that can be handled at a single locker location each day."
