Completing one year from the start of their cooperation with Amazon, Hellenic Post responded to the challenge, delivering 95% of the parcels within or earlier than the relevant deadlines. Today, they manage on a monthly basis 70% of the European volume of the company, which reaches Greece through the Croatian hub. The agreement with the American giant, which came with the ongoing consolidation plan of the Organization, was also the first vote of confidence in the capabilities and the extensive network of ELTA.
The agreement, which is not exclusive, sets strict targets for achieving deliveries at specific times, in line with Amazon’s high international standards. The first crash test of the Agency’s performance, the pilot collaboration phase, lasted less than 20 days and the collaboration was immediately expanded. According to ELTA sources, the new robotic sorting system, which has increased its management capacity fivefold, offering the possibility of delivery the next day, played a crucial role in achieving the strict delivery deadlines.
