ARKA Smart Parcel Lockers says it has successfully manufactured 1,000 lockers for FAN Courier, who have now ordered a further ARKA 1,000 lockers.
The AK 202 Parcel Locker, one of ARKA’s latest innovations, is tailor-made for FAN Courier’s FANbox network.
ARKA adds that the lockers are designed for outdoor use, offer a user-friendly interface with many advanced electronic and security features, and a rack system and parcel detection technology.
The FAN locker network has expanded to cover all urban centers in Romania and the company is continuing to install ARKA lockers in both major urban areas and remote residential locations far from well-known city centers.
Additionally, the courier has enabled the option to redirect door-to-door shipments to lockers, providing customers with more choices for receiving their shipments.
Two years ago, ARKA’s software solution was strategically chosen by FAN Courier when they initiated the development of their network. This allowed them to seamlessly integrate and customize the Locker Central Management Software for their network.
Moreover, ARKA and FAN Courier, in collaboration with another partner, are exploring the possibility of implementing a packaging recovery system.
This initiative aims to enhance both speed and flexibility in deliveries while aligning with sustainability goals.
It also underscores the commitment to becoming an environmentally friendly solution, reducing carbon emissions by consolidating multiple packages into a single delivery point and supporting the recovery and recycling of packaging materials.
