Quadient announced that Galimmo, a real estate company that owns and operates the shopping centers adjacent to Cora hypermarkets in France, will soon be offering Parcel Pending by Quadient smart parcel delivery within its French network. Galimmo is extending the range of services in its shopping centers, local shopping and living spaces with a large food-based anchor, high footfall and easy access. Parcel Pending by Quadients pickup and drop-off points will be accessible over the centers' extended opening hours, offering convenience and time savings to visitors who want to collect their online purchases at places integral to their daily lives.

Quadient and Galimmo plan to install 30 units by the end of 2023, and more than 50 over time, further expanding Quadient's network currently being deployed in France. By developing an open network, Quadient's ambition is to streamline the entire parcel delivery chain, from the first to the last mile, in a cost-effective, sustainable way that focuses on the consumer experience. The Quadient solution enables Galimmo to offer more services to enhance the attractiveness of its centers, in a context of increasing complementarity of different shopping channels and modes, in response to new consumer demands.

With over 18,900 sites worldwide, of which more than 1,000 in France, Quadient is significantly accelerating the development of its open network in France, building on partnerships with major players in parcel delivery and commercial real estate, such as Relais Colis, UPS, Auchan and now Galimmo.
