📦 E-commerce drives change
Poland’s e-commerce sector is growing fast. Consumers want cheaper, faster, and more flexible deliveries. Companies like DHL and Allegro are expanding logistics to meet demand. DHL now operates 20K+ out-of-home (OOH) pickup points, including 5K DHL BOX 24/7 machines. These allow customers to send and receive parcels anytime. Experts say Poland’s dense OOH network makes it a leader in Europe.
🌍 Cross-border logistics boom
International deliveries are a key growth area. DHL’s network spans 140K+ parcel lockers in Europe. Allegro delivers to 25 EU countries, cutting shipping times. Over 30-40% of international orders involve returns, making logistics efficiency crucial. DHL and Allegro are optimizing operations to lower costs and improve customer experience. Poland is also a major hub for imports, especially from China.
📊 Data and tech in logistics
Companies are using AI and big data to optimize delivery routes. DHL tracks parcel locker usage to improve placement and efficiency. Allegro’s logistics program predicts delivery times with 90% accuracy. Smart automation and analytics are shaping the future of e-commerce logistics. Experts say automation will be critical as workforce shortages grow.
🌱 Sustainability in deliveries
Sustainability is now a priority for logistics firms. DHL invests in zero-emission buildings, electric fleets, and AI-driven energy management. Using OOH pickup points reduces carbon footprints by cutting individual home deliveries. Experts agree that balancing cost, speed, and sustainability is the key to future success in e-commerce logistics.
