History
2022
Opening of logistics hubs in St. Petersburg and Yekaterinburg
On February 3, 2022, X5 Group announced that its subsidiary 5Post had opened two additional logistics hubs in St. Petersburg and Yekaterinburg to receive and send orders from online stores. Infrastructure development will allow hubs to receive up to 5,000 shipments per hour, which will increase the company's productivity.
The opening of these hubs provides the opportunity to collect orders with delivery throughout Russia for regional partners of the service. Earlier, the collection and delivery of orders from Yekaterinburg and St. Petersburg was available only for the service regions closest to the sorting centers, and delivery throughout the service area was available only for partners in Moscow and the Moscow region. Hubs operate on the basis of existing sorting centers.
The availability of sending orders throughout the territory of the 5Post presence will increase the customer base of partners in the regions and provide more favorable conditions for delivery of orders.
5Post is actively developing and striving to expand delivery regions and improve service for partners and customers. One of the development priorities is to expand the network of partnerships with online stores. The opening of logistics hubs will help increase the number of regional partners and, accordingly, increase the number of processed shipments. Logistics availability will realize the potential of online stores in Yekaterinburg and St. Petersburg and ensure delivery to the end consumer throughout Russia to conveniently located points of issue, - commented Vitaly Dyrdasov, Managing Director of the 5Post. |
2021: Combining with PickPoint to create one of the largest logistics operators in the Russian Federation
In early July 2021, X5 Group and PickPoint announced the merger of a network of checkpoints and order points. Thus, the companies agreed to create one of the largest logistics operators in the Russian Federation.
Collaborating with 5Post (part of the X5 Group) and PickPoint online stores can organize delivery to 12,400 checkpoints (of which 9,000 belong to PickPoint, 3400 - 5Post) and 14,300 points of issue of orders (4000 belong to PickPoint, 10,300 - 5Post) throughout Russia.
5Post and PickPoint will also be able to use each other's logistics capabilities, including transport, sorting centers and other infrastructure elements.
When placing an order in the online store, the client will have the opportunity to place a pickup through the partner point. Orders will be processed at the sorting center of the company with which the online store has an agreement. And then the company organizes delivery either to its own or to the partner point of issue without additional processing of the order.
The partnership, in particular, will expand the geography of the presence of both services, as well as the number of clients, says 5Post Managing Director Vitaly Dyrdasov, whose words are quoted by Vedomosti. PickPoint CEO Nadezhda Romanova believes that this will make it possible to increase the number of delivery points as quickly as possible.
According to Data Insight partner Fedor Virin, referred to by the newspaper, the combined network will become the largest among logistics companies after the Russian Post, both in terms of the number of points and geography. Currently, Ozon is in the lead in the postamate market, which has 7.5 thousand such objects.
PickPoint is one of the leaders among services for the delivery of goods from online stores, in terms of the number of posts it ranked second in May 2021.[1]
2020
Pilot launch of five points of issue of orders
On July 20, 2020, Kh5 Retail Group announced that its subsidiary 5Post, which develops postal services, has launched a network of its own points of issue of orders (PVZ). With their help, 5Post will provide consumers with additional services:
- fitting,
- partial ransom,
- checking the order,
- simplified return,
- delivery of oversized and large goods.
PVZ will be located in the stores of the Pyaterochka retail chain.
As part of the project, as of July 20, 2020, five points for issuing orders located in Moscow and the Moscow region were opened. By the end of 2020, it is planned to launch 45 pilot PVZs in St. Petersburg, Nizhny Novgorod, Yekaterinburg and other million-plus cities. The delivery point, located in shop-in-shop format directly in the store, consists of a customer room and a warehouse area. In the first stage, only Ozon orders will be issued through the PVZ 5Post.
The multi-service 5Post model, which includes all the main formats for issuing parcels, will be able to cover the key needs of buyers, provide more tools for partners, and cover various segments of the market. This model will provide an increase in the range of services provided for issuing parcels in the Pyaterochka retail network, and will increase the quality of processing fast-growing traffic. PVZ is also expanding the throughput capacity for issuing orders operating at the box office and at checkouts in Pyaterochka stores.
The global online order delivery market continues to grow, with the Click & Collect segment growing at a faster pace. The free schedule for receiving the parcel, the absence of the need to expect a courier, the lower cost of the service and proximity to the house led to the rapid development of the PVZ market and lockers, and the increased interest of buyers in this service. The development of the existing 5Post infrastructure by launching its own points for issuing orders will increase the attractiveness of 5Post services, create an additional volume in terms of the number and assortment of goods available for purchase. This corresponds to our strategy to meet the wishes of consumers and provide new opportunities for the "last mile" service, - comments Vitaly Dyrdasov, Managing Director of the 5Post. |
Increase the number of points to receive an order to 9500
On June 23, 2020, 5Post, a subsidiary of Kh5 Retail Group, which develops postal services, announced the expansion of the delivery zone to Pyaterochka stores. In June 2020, two distribution centers were included in the supply chain of the service, which made it possible to increase the number of points to receive an order to 9500.
Thanks to the development of the service in June, more than 100 additional settlements will enter the delivery zone of the 5Post, including Chelyabinsk, Magnitogorsk, Troitsk, Samara, Togliatti, etc. Now you can get your orders and parcels at 9500 checkpoints and points of issue in Pyaterochka stores located in 65 regions of Russia. In June 2020, distribution centers in Chelyabinsk and Samara were connected to the 5Post, and their total number was increased to 14.
In recent months, Joom, MyShop, Oriflame, the M.Video-Eldorado group, DNS, Eksmo, Enlightenment, Read City, and Labyrinth have become partners of the 5Post. An accelerated procedure for connecting online stores within one day was launched, which gave representatives of small and medium-sized businesses access to the logistics infrastructure of the service. During the pandemic, changes in consumer behavior became noticeable: despite the objective growth in demand for courier delivery and the desire to stay at home, interest in receiving online orders in the nearest convenience store did not decrease. This allowed 5Post to become a logist who did not close a single point of issue against the background of epidemiological restrictions.
We are expanding the geography of issuing 5Post within the framework of the approved strategy - our task is to meet the wishes of consumers and provide access to the service in all Kh5 stores. By the end of 2020, we plan to continue connecting distribution centers and increase the number of points of issue of orders, making our service even more convenient and accessible to customers. This also implies the creation of digital opportunities for order tracking, automation and optimization of the delivery process, the further development of its own IT system for the subsequent development and improvement of service efficiency, the expansion of the partner network, - comments Vitaly Dyrdasov, Managing Director of 5Post. |
