Same-day delivery for high-street retailers: DPD Germany, tiramizoo and poe present innovative check-out integration

•  Integration with the poe cash register system enables convenient implementation of orders for same-day shipping

•  Omni-channel made easy: for use by both retail-outlet customers and online shoppers

•  Integration of further DPD services with the poe cash register systems is in preparation

Aschaffenburg, 22 Februar 2016 – It has now become even easier for bricks-and-mortar retailers to offer same-day deliveries - thanks to a cooperation which is unique within the industry and features DPD Germany, the same-day delivery specialist tiramizoo and the cash register expert poe®. Orders for same-day shipping can now be directly placed with the POSMAN cash register systems, or with poe's TRADEMAN merchandise management system. As a result, retailers can quickly and conveniently offer their customers delivery on the same day. If necessary, retail multiples can make an immediate check on stocks at their other branches, so that goods which are not available at one location can simply be delivered to the customer’s home by courier. Even bulky goods can conveniently be delivered to the home, enabling customers to continue their shopping trip without fuss or worry. The delivery service is implemented by tiramizoo, the Munich same-day delivery experts in which DPD is a major investor.

The new cash register integration now also enables the same-day delivery of goods which are purchased online and then delivered from a bricks-and-mortar retail outlet. The poe software accordingly covers the entire service spectrum, ranging from warehouse management and product orders via the arrangement of same-day transport to shipment processing. Thanks to the cash register as the universal interface, retailers can now implement omni-channel concepts much more easily and efficiently.

“It has never been easier for high-street retailers to combine a high level of product availability on site with convenient same-day delivery”, comments Michael Knaupe, Director of Products & Services at DPD Germany. “We are gradually planning to integrate further services with the poe cash register systems, enabling retailers to link their sales and shipping channels even more closely.”

Dietmar Papenkordt, Managing Director of poe GmbH & Co. KG, states: “Regardless of whether it’s in the high street or at the online shop, with our systems 'same day' is available at the push of a button. This enables our customers to provide further added value, giving them a significant competitive edge.”

Philipp Walz, Director of Marketing and Sales at tiramizoo, adds: “With same-day delivery an efficient link-up with the customer's logistics systems is essential. Integration with the poe cash register system raises shipping convenience to the customer to a new level, and opens up new potentials for same-day delivery.”

Same-day delivery with tiramizoo is effected within 90 minutes or during a freely selectable two-hour time window between 10 and 20 hrs. This service is currently available in more than 160 towns and cities within Germany and Austria. As the next step further DPD services – for example the processing of returns – are to be integrated with the poe cash register systems.
