About the service

The Speednet team delivered functionality that simplified the work of couriers and allowed DPD to significantly streamline their process despite parcel recipients’ frequent absences at the time of delivery.

DPD Ireland, currently the largest courier company in Ireland with 38 branches nationwide and approximately 13 million parcels handled per year, needed an IT solution integrating devices used by DPD staff and solutions found at pick-up points.

It was necessary to address the recurring problem of a large number of undelivered parcels. The solution had to fit smoothly into the current delivery process, including tools already used by DPD employees. Speednet built an app integrated with Honeywell devices already used by the staff at pick-up points. An app was created for the Android platform to make its use smooth and straightforward.

Our solution expanded the delivery options and modernized the whole process, contributing to the overall volume of parcels delivered by the company.
