The sys\u00adtem is used by logis\u00adtics com\u00adpa\u00adnies, par\u00adcel deliv\u00adery ser\u00advices, retail\u00aders and pri\u00advate indi\u00advid\u00adu\u00adals for the stor\u00adage and return of par\u00adcel ship\u00adments. The sys\u00adtem is not tied to spe\u00adcific lock\u00aders or par\u00adcel boxes and thus func\u00adtions inde\u00adpen\u00addently of man\u00adu\u00adfac\u00adtur\u00aders.

How local retailers benefit from PAKETIN<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Until recently mainly hous\u00ading asso\u00adci\u00ada\u00adtions and real estate devel\u00adop\u00adment as well as indus\u00adtry relied on PAKETIN solu\u00adtions. How\u00adever, now demand from retail\u00aders is increas\u00ading dra\u00admat\u00adi\u00adcally \u2014 for exam\u00adple, from super\u00admar\u00adkets, organic food stores, bak\u00aderies, flower and book stores. Many in the brick-and-mor\u00adtar retail sec\u00adtor have under\u00adstood that they must offer flex\u00adi\u00adble 24\/7 pick-up solu\u00adtions in order to com\u00adpete against increas\u00ading com\u00adpe\u00adti\u00adtion from online retail. In some cities, retail\u00aders have joined forces with city cen\u00adter asso\u00adci\u00ada\u00adtions or urban devel\u00adop\u00adment to estab\u00adlish cen\u00adtral pick-up sta\u00adtions that can be used by all local stores and cit\u00adi\u00adzens. In this model, lock\u00aders can be rented or reserved accord\u00ading to flex\u00adi\u00adble mod\u00adels for as lit\u00adtle as 20 euros per month. This con\u00adcept will be accel\u00ader\u00adated with the renewed invest\u00adment, and new part\u00adners and cities are being acquired.<\/p>\n
