bp to roll out InPost lockers across 300 stations in the UK

After a successful pilot project of the automated parcel machines both companies have decided to extend their partnership.

bp will expand its partnership with InPost, a company that develops automated parcel machines (APMs), after a successful pilot project across its service station network in the United Kingdom.

A total of 300 service stations will be equipped with automated lockers throughout Wandsworth, Glasgow, Ashford and Brentwood. Customers will be able to collect or return a parcel while they refuel or have something to eat at a forecourt M&S Food store.

“We know how precious time is for our customers and we are always looking for strong, compelling offers to meet their mobility and convenience needs — and make their lives that little bit easier. This trial has shown that customers on-the-move are looking for delivery solutions and I’m excited to see the rollout of InPost Lockers starting across our UK network of great roadside locations,” said Sonya Adams, vice president of Mobility and Convenience Retail UK at bp, according to a report by Talking Retail.

During the initial trial, thousands of parcels have been processed across five locations. Both parties expect to multiply this result after the rollout of the APMs throughout new locations.
