Same-day delivery in Switzerland is growing with notime and Swiss Post
Ian Kerr
Swiss Post-owned notime recently clocked up one million shipments mark. And while that’s a nice milestone, the real story is that demand for same-day delivery in Switzerland has risen sharply in recent months.
According to notime, in recent months customer demand for same-day delivery has “gone through the roof”. Hyperbole or no, integrating notime’s technology and delivery offering into Swiss Post’s range of products would have helped.
In fact, notime CEO Reto Graf anticipates that notime could deliver its two millionth shipment this year.
Swiss Post first invested in notime back in 2018, when it took a 51% share in the company. In August 2020 the postal operator acquired the remaining shares in notime. notime AG is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of Swiss Post.
Together, they are offering a SameDay service for Swiss business customers.
Since Swiss Post’s full acquisition of notime, the two companies have coordinated their processes and harmonised their SameDay solutions.
The range of SameDay products include “Urban Afternoon”, “Urban Evening”, “Swiss Afternoon” and “Swiss Evening”. These superfast delivery services are available in urban and regional parts of Switzerland - as the service names suggest.
Deliveries under the SameDay banner can be carried out either by notime or by Swiss Post.
The same-day delivery market is an important part of Swiss Post's growth strategy that starts this year.
