Automation platform Quadient has announced an extended partnership with Evri.
Under the new agreement, Evri will be activating 2,000 additional Parcel Pending by Quadient smart lockers.
The rollout will significantly strengthen the company’s OOH delivery options while advancing Quadient’s continued investment in an open, carrier-agnostic locker network, it says.
The initiative responds to growing consumer demand for convenient, secure, and sustainable parcel services, particularly driven by the rise of consumer-to-consumer (C2C) marketplaces. As part of the collaboration, Evri will adopt a significant share of Quadient’s open locker network in the UK, including the Drop Box functionality that simplifies parcel returns and enhances the customer experience.
“We’re committed to providing innovative delivery solutions that meet the needs of our customers,” said Pauline Potter, director of transformation at Evri.
“By reinforcing our relationship with Quadient, we’re enhancing our network of pick-up and drop-off locations, making parcel delivery and returns more accessible and convenient for consumers. This forms part of our wider ambition to grow our ParcelShop and Locker network to over 25,000 locations by 2030, a move that will more than double Evri parcel drop off locations for customers and clients.”
Open to all carriers and services, Parcel Pending by Quadient lockers provide secure 24/7 access for deliveries, returns, exchanges, and other services, offering unmatched convenience in both urban and rural areas.
“This partnership extension reflects a shared vision to reshape last-mile delivery and make it smarter, more convenient, and more sustainable,” said Katia Bourgeais Crémel, EVP for parcel locker solutions Europe at Quadient. “By combining Evri’s nationwide reach with our open locker technology, we’re creating an ecosystem that meets evolving consumer expectations and supports a greener, more efficient logistics model.”
