gripping Christmas business and international challenges

With the upcoming Christmas business, the post expects an increase in daily package processing to up to 400,000 pieces. This is a huge logistical challenge, especially in view of the delays in the delivery of goods that were ordered on Chinese cheap platforms. "The delivery works, a bit delayed at the moment. The reason for this is a lack of freight capacities in the flight area," said the head of the distribution center, as orf.at reported. The probability that these packages will arrive in good time before Christmas is therefore extremely low.

The new logistics center is not only celebrated as an efficiency and sustainability show project, but also ensures better coordination in parcel traffic, especially when importing and export quantities. The connection of the location for trucks is optimized through comprehensive traffic measures for which the post office invested around three million euros in cooperation with the state of Upper Austria and the municipality of Allhaming. These new infrastructural adjustments are intended to significantly increase the safety and liquid of traffic and thus guarantee a smooth process in busy parcel traffic during the high season.
