Parcelly in Payoff's FOCUS

LONDON - According to Internet Retailing, "online retail sales recorded a solid 11% Year-on-Year increase in 2015, equating to approximately £114 billion spent online. However, m-Retail in 2015 reported a 42% growth on the previous year, with 45% of all online sales made via a mobile device". With it's focus on m-Retail convenience, Parcelly is offering a fully flexible click-and-collect solution to solve the last mile delivery problem by converting any local business into a parcel collection point. Being completely smartphone based, the service is extremely easy to set up and operate for Parcelly locations, converting redundant storage space into parcel storage capacity for online shoppers. 

In an interview with the Payoff Magazine, Sebastian Steinhauser, CEO of Parcelly analyses the latest VC investor trends and presents Parcelly as the "the biggest thing to happen to parcels since cardboard": “Parcelly allows online shoppers to collect their purchases at places most convenient for them, on their way to work or back home".

Retailers need to think Mobile!

Over the past few years there has been unprecedented growth in mobile commerce. Researchers say that 9 out 10 British shoppers now use their smartphone to do online shopping. There is a real urgency for retailers to react to this growth to meet the needs of consumers, or end up drastically falling behind to competitors.

Understanding the customer journey in affluent countries is getting more and more complex. Nowadays consumers are leaning towards a new trend: click and collect! As we covered before, click and collect is a fairly new concept that retailers will have to adopt to stay ahead of the competition. Research from retail experts suggests that consumers who use click and collect do not want to spend time in-store, even to collect online orders. Placing click-and-collect pickup in the back of the store doesn’t necessarily offer the level of convenience that customers want.

Retailers should focus on providing more options for shoppers to pick up their deliveries, from a variety of different locations. Parcelly facilitates this need, operating a network of collection points that allows retailers to offer a greater degree of convenience to their customers. E-commerce integration, in-store management, push notifications are some of the benefits that Parcelly offers to its clients.

If you are a retailer looking to offer convenience to your customers, Parcelly now offers an app based click and collect solution which allows online shoppers to collect their parcels from a trusted local store. The locations include convenience stores, gyms, pharmacies and other businesses that open every day, with some of them open 24/7. There are now more than 250 Parcelly locations across the UK offering shoppers an alternative to home delivery.

Retailers need to make the consumer’s experience convenient, simple and enjoyable. This means retailers need to think mobile as consumers’ demand to shop from their smartphone is growing rapidly. 

5 Ways Parcelly Makes Your Life More Convenient

 

1.       Responsive

Parcelly aims to make the online shopping experience as convenient as possible for consumers. With over more than 250 locations across the U.K, we are working towards opening new collection points on every corner. You can also suggest a new location by clicking on the ‘Request a new location’ button in the Parcelly app, the team will strive as hard as they can to open a new location in your neighbourhood, as soon as possible.

2.       Simple

As a subscribing customer, once you’ve generated your Parcelly ID you can use this same code wherever you shop online, safe in the knowledge that your parcels will be sent securely to your chosen location. In addition, with our app you’ll never have to sign for a parcel–simply mark the parcels as ‘collected’ and the process is validated.  

3.       On-the-go

Parcelly is the only service that allows you to shop anywhere online and track the progress of your parcel no matter where you are. Our app-based service means you can order while on the go and receive immediate notification when your parcel arrives by push notification, even if you don’t have phone signal to receive texts.

4.       Worldwide

With Parcelly you can order online with any retailer, worldwide. That means literally absolutely every online retailer. It doesn’t matter if you’re ordering from Tesco Online, Amazon US or Alibaba, if the website delivers to the UK, you can collect it at a Parcelly location. Once you’ve generated your Parcelly ID it becomes part of your address field, so no matter where you’re shopping online, just add it to the top line when you’re on the checkout screen. With Parcelly you can shop global and collect local.

5.       Flexible

If you miss your delivery it can be a real pain having to go after work to queue up at a depot. But it’s even worse that many of these depots close before 6, forcing you to spend your Saturdays queuing up at the Post Office. Many of our Parcelly locations are open late nights, 7 days a week, with some even 24/7 which allows you to collect your parcel when it suits you best.
