Shell Germany and Myflexbox, the largest provider-independent parcel station network in Germany and Austria, want to transform petrol stations into multifunctional mobility hubs. More than 50 Shell stations in 14 German federal states have already been equipped with a Myflexbox. More are planned.
At the centre of the cooperation is the goal of transforming petrol stations into central access points for modern, urban services. Customers benefit from an additional 24/7 service offerParcels from several parcel services (UPS, DPD, GLS and FedEx) can be collected, returned or sent contactlessly, conveniently and time-savingly while refuelling, shopping, washing the car or taking a coffee break.
„This collaboration is a prime example of how mobility, retail and logistics are growing together. With our parcel stations, we are jointly creating places that offer people real added value - safely, digitally and with low emissions. Together with Shell, we share the ambition of bringing smart services to exactly where people are travelling: to the hubs of urban mobility.“
Jonathan Grothaus, CEO & Founder of Myflexbox
According to studies, smart parcel stations in the petrol station environment can Increase customer frequency by up to eleven per cent. According to an InPost study (2019), 16 per cent of people who collect their parcels do so exclusively for the parcel service. At the same time, bundled deliveries reduce the number of delivery journeys, relieve urban traffic and save CO₂ on the last mile.
