This acquisition will enable Sameday to improve presence in Hungary and the out-of-home infrastructure there will be expanded by 60% with the takeover of the 450 delivery points Sprinter has, as well as with the home delivery capacity.
Sprinter serves a significant number of online businesses, both domestic and multinational, consolidated service operators and makes deliveries abroad to Romania and other countries.
“We are building a uniform borderless delivery area that will improve customer experience and help cut delivery costs for online stores in Romania, Hungary and Bulgaria. We have an ambitious plan to reach 8,500 delivery points in the region this year and the potential takeover of the Sprinter infrastructure is an important step,” Lucian Baltaru, CEO of the Sameday Group, said.
“We will continue fast-paced expansion by increasing the number of easyboxes (delivery lockers i.e.) and introducing new delivery points and shop-in-shop systems, which will support even faster development of online commerce in the region.”
Until the end of 2024, the Sameday out of home network in Hungary will reach almost 2,200 easybox lockers and delivery points, covering all major cities and regions in the country. Sameday entered Hungary in 2021.
