It’s all about e-commerce right now, especially since the pandemic. However, until recently, having your own online shop was expensive, the fees for marketplaces were high and there were numerous restrictions. These days, anyone and everyone can start up an online shop. This is where the ‘Plug & Planzer Parcel’ workbench idea comes in. The free plug-in combines the logistics of an online shop with the benefits of Planzer Parcel. To put it another way, ‘Plug & Planzer Parcel’ can be installed incredibly easily into the shop CMS. You don’t need to enter any shipping details manually, the shipping labels are printed automatically, and Planzer Parcel collects the parcels by arrangement from the store operator and delivers them the following day.
The idea behind ‘Plug & Planzer Parcel’ didn’t come from us, but we worked with our parcel sales team, our EDI team and a digital agency to develop the concept, look for (and find) test customers, develop a prototype and start a pilot project. In December 2021, we went live with the first Planzer Parcel plug-in for Woocommerce.
