Polish Post Office in the selected group of Amazon contractors
Poczta Polska qualified for participation in the program currently introduced in Poland by Amazon. The company was in a small group of carriers serving the Amazon Prime service, which will be carried out by Pocztex couriers. The selection of logistics partners to service Amazon Prime took place after the verification in the scope of meeting the highest maturity standards. This is another extension of cooperation between Poczta Polska and the American tycoon of the e-commerce market.
One of the pillars of the new strategy of Poczta Polska is to increase the share in the KEP market (courier, express shipments and packages). According to the assumptions adopted, the goal until 2024 is to double the company's revenues from this segment. The development of cooperation with key partners on the e-commerce market is one of the most important activities carried out by post in this area of business.
Amazon Prime is a subscription service which, in exchange for a monthly fee, offers a free and fast delivery of millions of products, even the next day, without the minimum order, including home and pickup points. It also allows access to the best entertainment-hundreds of movies and series, free PC games, in-game materials and a free monthly subscription to the Twitch channel. The service also gives you the opportunity to participate in the annual Prime Day event.
The Polish Postal Strategy for 2021-2023 assumes the intensive development of courier services. Currently, postal revenues from development areas, which include courier, digital and logistics services generate less than 20% of the company's revenues. Traditional business, i.e. paper lists, deposits and postal messages, subject to strong e-institution, currently bring almost four times more revenues. The implementation of the strategy is aimed at reversing these proportions - as early as 2024, revenues from development areas are to prevail. These changes reflect the scale of the revolution which is subject to the business environment of the post office and the company itself.
