Picapac pilot expands to one of Saue Municipality’s largest centres – Laagri
Laagri is one of the largest and more densely populated centres in Saue Municipality, with many private houses and terraced houses. Owners of these homes can now join Omniva’s Picapac pilot project and try a private parcel machine at their home free of charge for three months. Transportation and installation of the machine are also free of charge.
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.
“Laagri is a large and densely populated residential area where people’s daily movements are closely connected to both Tallinn and the rest of Saue Municipality. In an area like this, we want to see how much value people gain from being able to send and receive parcels and use other services right from their home. In Nõmme, we have seen clear interest in this type of solution, and now we are continuing the Picapac pilot further south,” said Aleksei Kolesnikov, Product Manager for Picapac at Omniva.
Picapac also brings other everyday services to the doorstep. Customers can use it to send laundry for washing or dry cleaning and to send 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.
At the end of the trial period, customers can either return the machine or continue using it for a monthly fee.
Small businesses in Laagri are also welcome to participate in the pilot project. Omniva will provide them with an individual offer based on their needs.
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.
Laagri residents can apply to join the pilot project HERE. Omniva will contact applicants directly.
The Picapac pilot area is gradually expanding. People living outside the current pilot areas can join the waiting list. When selecting new areas, Omniva takes into account, among other factors, the level of interest from each area.
