Bison Consolidated, EasyParcel in last-mile delivery


KUALA LUMPUR: Bison Consolidated Bhd and EasyParcel have tied up to provide a new service that facilitates the last-mile delivery leg to all users of postal services. 

They said on Wednesday the partnership – called PGEON – is a new service offered by EasyParcel that provides postal users with options to have their parcels dropped-off or collected at any of the 320 myNEWS.com outlets nationwide.

Bison is the largest and a pioneer of home-grown press and convenience retail chain in Malaysia while EasyParcel is a web-based parcel consolidator and eCommerce shipping solutions provider.

EasyParcel co-founder and CEO Clarence Leong said the need to deliver and receive items quickly “on time” or “same day delivery” is the main compelling reason for EasyParcel to initiate the partnership with myNEWS.com.

He said EasyParcel continuously strives to push the boundaries in changing the conventional ways of logistics support, so that our consumers benefit more from their eCommerce purchases. 

“We want to enable the mailing of their parcels with minimum stress nor worries, allowing more flexibility for consumers to manage their deliveries. 

“More often than not, consumers are not home while the delivery is being delivered. This is the main compelling reason for EasyParcel to initiate the partnership with myNEWS.com,” he said. 

Leong added PGEON provides a win-win platform to both courier companies and postal services users. 

"This collaboration with Bison is part of EasyParcel's strategic plans to bring to the country its fulfilment or last-mile capabilities via our PGEON service that could give customers a choice of over 320 myNEWS.com outlets to drop-and-go or collect-and-go," says Leong.
 
EasyParcel was launched by Exabytes in 2014. It is Malaysia's first integrated logistics service platform that connects logistics and shipping service suppliers such as Poslaju, Skynet, Airpax, Nationwide and DHL into a single integrated eCommerce platform, to businesses and consumers. 

PGEON service is part of EasyParcel's continuous commitment to stay abreast of the technological happenings for more innovative products as a logistics service platform provider. 
  
Bison executive director cum CEO, Dang Tai Luk said the company was is looking at opening 70 outlets in Malaysia by the end of its 2017 financial year. 

“With more outlets, PGEON service can reach out to more parts of the country, giving more drop-off or pick-up point to consumers,” he added.
