Carousel Logistics, part of the DANX Carousel group, has launched a pick-up, drop-off (PUDO) network across the UK and Ireland.
It said the service provided businesses with field-based staff and engineers the flexibility to send and return freight, parcels, or repair items at collection points.
Carousel said unlike locker-based options, its staffed PUDO sites could handle a range of sizes and weights, supporting engineers with bulkier or more complex shipments.
So far it has over 100 staffed locations with plans for further expansion.
Engineers can also use Carousel’s app to return items directly via PUDO sites, without pre-printed labels and redirect shipments to different sites if repair work is reassigned.
Andrew Whitehead, head of network development at the Sittingbourne-based company, said: “This network is about solving real challenges for our customers.
“By giving engineers early and reliable access to the parts they need and a simple way to return items without labels, we’re creating a service that directly improves efficiency in the field.”
Extended across the UK after a pilot, the network is integrated with those operated by DANX in the Nordic region and the Baltics, and Carousel’s Iberia region, as well as those operated by LPR Group in Germany.
