At this stage of the project, the partners are processing 70,000 orders at the logistics postal center (LPC) in Vnukovo. The plans for the near future are to increase volumes to 120,000–150,000 orders per month. In addition, the companies plan to include Russian Post logistics facilities in St. Petersburg, Kazan, Krasnodar and Novosibirsk in the project and diversify the range of services for customers.
“Post has multiplied the volume and revenue in the FBO and FBS segments in the first half of this year, and now we are developing a new product segment – fulfillment services for sellers. This is one of the fastest growing market segments where Post, thanks to its modern logistics infrastructure, has the opportunity for significant growth,” commented Anton Nechaev, director of product and service development at Russian Post .
Russian Post began providing fulfillment services in 2019. All logistics postal centers are class A+ facilities. These are premises with an area of 10,000 to 25,000 m², equipped with appropriate engineering systems, with ceiling heights from 12 m, floors with anti-dust coating that can withstand loads of more than 9 t/m2, automatic gates and office space.
