Investments in technology and state-of-the-art solutions used by Sameday led to a 38% increase in parcels compared to the previous calendar year, the company said in a statement.
In 2022, Sameday invested over EUR50 million in management solutions, operational services and innovative projects.
For 2023, Sameday wants technology investments to double their value compared to the previous year, when optimization solutions were developed to facilitate the communication with customers, optimize parcel sorting, streamline courier routes and upgrade the solution of easybox software.
In Romania, more than 27 million parcels, representing approximately 47% of all Sameday domestic shipments, were destined for the easybox network. Of these, 73% had already been paid online. The number of those who choose to pay cash on delivery, with the easybox card, is decreasing.
“It was a difficult year, in which we took risks and from which we learned a lot of valuable lessons. Sameday is a machine whose engine is based on technology. The evolution of online commerce, where more than 90 percent of our orders come from, the development of the digital environment, but also the attention we pay to technological innovations have helped us create a structure that will transform us into the first choice of business customers. 2022 was a year of lessons that we will apply in 2023, so that our customers’ needs can find the most effective solutions”, says Lucian Baltaru, CEO of Sameday Group.
In Romania, at end-December 2022, Sameday had more than 4,500 easybox lockers, 83 agnecies countrywide, more than 5,000 employees and collaborators, and more than 10,000 localities in Romania transited by the company’s courier workers.
