Veskimetsa and Mustjõe residents can now try Picapac right at their doorstep
Omniva is expanding its Picapac private parcel machine pilot project to the Veskimetsa and Mustjõe areas in Tallinn’s Haabersti district. Owners of private houses and terraced houses, as well as small businesses in the area, can have a Picapac installed at their home and try it free of charge for three months.
Picapac allows customers to receive, send and return parcels without leaving home. Shipments can be delivered to the machine by Omniva as well as other delivery companies and food couriers. When sending or receiving parcels with Omniva, the standard parcel machine service price applies.
Picapac also brings other everyday services to the doorstep. Customers can use Picapac to send laundry for washing or dry cleaning, as well as items they no longer need to Uuskasutuskeskus (Reuse Centre) for reuse. In addition to parcels, letters and periodicals are delivered to the private parcel machine, where they are protected from the weather, and customers receive a notification when their mail arrives.
“We already have our first Picapac users in Veskimetsa and Mustjõe, and now we want to give more residents in the area the opportunity to try a private parcel machine at their home. Three months is enough time to see how much easier having your own parcel machine can make sending and receiving parcels and using other everyday services,” said Aleksei Kolesnikov, Product Manager for Picapac at Omniva.
Through its pilot projects, Omniva aims to better understand which residential areas have the highest demand for private parcel machines and how people use Picapac in their daily lives. The pilot also helps Omniva assess how a denser private parcel machine network affects the efficiency of last-mile logistics.
Participants in the pilot project can use Picapac free of charge for three months. Transportation and installation of the machine are also free of charge. At the end of the trial period, customers can either return the machine or continue using it for a monthly fee.
Residents of Veskimetsa and Mustjõe can apply to join the pilot project HERE. The number of places is limited, and Omniva will contact suitable applicants individually.
The Picapac pilot area is gradually expanding. People living outside the current pilot areas can join the waiting list, and when selecting new areas, Omniva takes into account, among other factors, the number of interested customers in each area.
