Leading e-commerce logistics provider Asendia is expanding its services to businesses in Australia and New Zealand, providing online retailers selling internationally, with sustainable parcel solutions.
This comes after three years of meticulous planning, setting up global connections with local operations, establishing key strategic partnerships, and building its regional network.
Asendia’s products are designed to empower businesses to grow access borders, namely via its trademark offering e-PAQ, which encompasses a range of international packet and parcel delivery services designed for online retailers.
With Asendia, online retailers can benefit from a wide array of choices based on weight, delivery speed, price and intuitive features such as end-to-end tracking services on the retailers’ own platforms.
The company’s expansion of services in the ANZ region coincides with the retail landscape’s evolution across the two countries.
Due in no small part to the Covid-19 pandemic, e-commerce activity in the ANZ region is rising significantly, and is projected to be the preferred form of retail in the two markets, particularly for shoppers in the current and future generations.
According to a recent Google consumer insights report, it is estimated that over 80 per cent of adults in Australia, and nearly 90 per cent of adults in New Zealand under 55 years old now prefer online shopping, with businesses making technology investments to prepare for a digital-first retail environment.
“With the future of retail being shaped by e-commerce – especially in markets such as Australia and New Zealand – businesses now require unfettered, reliable and accessible solutions to reach customers both nationwide and to the rest of the world,” said Lou Milicevic, managing director at Asendia Oceania.
“We are pleased to deepen our presence in the ANZ region to help provide retailers here increase their international reach, especially as our solutions help manage everything from customer enquiries to last-mile fulfilments, putting them at ease and giving their customers the optimal online shopping experience, no matter where they are located.”
Asendia is a joint venture between La Poste and Swiss Post, the state-owned postal services of France and Switzerland respectively.
Launched in 2012, it has been operating for 10 years, working closely with postal and parcel operators in over 200 countries and territories to provide international mail and e-commerce solutions worldwide.
