DX Ireland Invests In New ParcelXchange Service

DX Ireland, one of the country's leading independent mail and courier company, is deploying 35 ParcelXchange lockers throughout Ireland and Northern Ireland, following a €500,000 investment in hardware and software to support the service.

ParcelXchange will provide a "virtual depot" network with over 500 technically-advanced intelligent lockers. These lockers will allow businesses and professionals the freedom of having parcels delivered securely to 35 locations in Ireland and Northern Ireland, allowing them to collect their parcels on the move and not be tied to a fixed collection time. Lockers can be allocated on a permanent or day-to-day basis.

Availing of Topaz's and Maxol's network of service stations, ParcelXchange lockers are located in the most convenient locations for professionals on the road.

The secure service offers end to end traceability, 24/7 access and is supported by a 24-hour call centre. To ensure further ease of access there is a 9.00am delivery guarantee and customers receive a text alert when their package is delivered to their ParcelXchange locker.

Kevin Galligan, Regional Director, DX Ireland commented: "We are pleased to launch the ParcelXchange service, which we hope will be of benefit to Irish businesses of every size. We believe that the service will offer a more convenient way of doing business for those organisations that have personnel in the field supporting and servicing equipment from materials handling equipment to office equipment and from IT equipment to medical equipment. We have made a considerable investment in state-of-the-art technology to ensure this service offers the utmost in ease, security and reliability."
