20 years ago, we invented the DHL PACKSTATION
- the world´s first stationary locker system. Today, more than
200.000 stationary lockers are in operation globally, adopted
by more than 50 parcel carriers, processing more than 2bn
parcels annually. However, we believe that this is not sufficient
for the future.

Current parcel delivery is unable to meet future demand and threatens the foundation of your business.
Parcel volume doubles every 7-10 years, driven by eCom growth. Existing delivery methods cannot cope with this growth:
The industry is already facing courier shortages, rising wages costs, limited PUDO locations, increased urban traffic, and a growing mountain of parcel packaging waste.
Is your company really pushing hard enough to fully automate parcel delivery?
If you don’t act now, you risk losing business to competitors who are taking bold steps and fully automate delivery.
a mobile parcel locker capable of
automatically handling up to
200 parcels per day.
Smarcel lockers are loaded overnight at your depots and transported to designated locations in the morning.

all managed via an App that integrates easily into your existing customer App.
In the evening, the Smarcel locker return to your depots, ready to start the next cycle.
Smarcel is not just a better parcel locker, easier to deploy, and much faster to ramp up than stationary lockers.
Smarcel, even more importantly, is a platform, for an evolving range of applications:
Flexible shelving systems that are automatically reconfigured daily according to the size of individual packages, with usage up to 3.5 meters in height.
Automated loading at depots drastically reduces costs compared to manual operations.
Thanks to our central transfer gate, we can identify, photograph, and weigh each parcel, instantly sending corresponding images and weight.
A closed-loop system for reusable parcel packaging keeps them securely in lockers, eliminating shrinkage, deposits, and costly return logistics.
AI-powered software adjusts locker locations daily, freeing you from being locked into suboptimal sites for years.
Smarcel has the potential to transform parcel delivery in the same way the iPhone revolutionized mobile phones — a platform completely open to future applications. Unlike home deliveries and stationary lockers, Smarcel can fully leverage the upcoming megatrend of autonomous driving, by combining our mobile locker with autonomous vehicles. Smarcel could also serve as a hub for drone deliveries, receiving or dispatching packages transported by drones.
These are just two of the potential modules that set new industry standards — and we are already working on these solutions.
