FlexDeliveryService now connects 21 countries
International e-commerce simplified further
Italy, Portugal, Finland and Bulgaria have recently been added to the international FlexDeliveryService. The number of countries connected across borders via the service thus rises to 21.
Web shops and their customers, in particular, benefit from the international connection via the service, as delivery according to the recipient’s choice rounds off a shopping experience abroad. No matter in which of the affiliated countries online shoppers order goods – GLS will inform them about the delivery in their native language.
Delivery according to choice
Depending on the country in question, recipients will then have various options to manage the time and location of their delivery. GLS or the network partner in the country adapts flexibly to the needs of recipients. This includes, for example, parcel delivery on a desired day, forwarding to a different address or the delivery to a selected ParcelShop.
A pan-European service
In addition to the 21 countries connected in all directions, the FlexDeliveryService has already been set up for export parcels to Greece. GLS is preparing to connect further countries.
Following continuous expansion and increasing parcel volumes, GLS Romania extends the central hub in Sibiu County, thus becoming more competitive on the parcel service market in Romania.
GLS Romania expands the central hub in Sibiu
Following continuous growth and increasing parcel volumes, GLS Romania expands the central hub in Sibiu County, thus becoming more competitive on the parcel service market in Romania.
GLS Romania moved the central hub to the Industrial Park Șelimbăr, in the beginning of August. The construction of the new location began in September 2017 with a total investment of over 5 million euros. It occupies over 4,000 m², three times the size of the previous hub, and has 55 loading gates, allowing for twice the parcel processing capacity. The installation of new conveyor belts ensures that up to 50,000 parcels can be processed on a daily basis.
A welcoming workplace environment
The construction with state-of-the-art technology translates into speed and quality of service for customers and recipients. The location in Sibiu was built with a modern setup, improving the work environment of employees. Furthermore, modern technology allows new employees to get familiar with the work at GLS much faster and easier.
