e-motions and Airmee found each other on a software level as they both came from a software perspective. Both parties operate in industries where software is revolutionary and they know the endless possibilities that exist in both collecting and analyzing data.
Now e-motions enters as a supplier of scalable automation solutions for the growing last mile player. The delivery is expected to be completed around midsummer this year.
In combination with the focus on software, it is important for e-motions to be able to keep up with the extreme growth journey that Airmee is undergoing in terms of hardware. This is where e-motions' scalable solutions stand out, allowing the last mile player to easily expand its facilities without having to endure costly production stops.
Being able to start small and not take on too large investments is a wise way forward for companies that are experiencing tremendous growth. It is not uncommon for courier companies to build a couple of huge distribution centers located outside the country's largest cities. Here, Airmee shows another way in which scalable automation and intelligent software can offer several smaller sorting hubs and thus always be as close to the end customer as possible. They have also chosen a flexible financing arrangement with direct ROI.
"As we continuously grow and expand into new geographical areas, we have looked at different solutions to automate our sorting terminals. As a fast-growing tech company, it felt natural to take the step towards automation with e-motions, which has a flexible and scalable solution. We look forward to scaling up the collaboration and see that the solution will increase both our precision and speed of delivery."
Once again, the two companies have confirmed how important it is to collect information such as weight, volume, photographs and time for all packages. This type of data is at least as important as physically sorting the package correctly.
The facility that is the starting point for Airmee and e-motion's cooperation will be located at the terminal in Kallhäll outside Stockholm. The ambition of both parties is to see the effects of the automation in the near future and thus be able to apply the same type of solution to more addresses. The first facility is expected to be ready around midsummer this year.
"The solution is more on the software side than in hardware and it is completely in line with how we think you should invest. Now we are motivated to learn more about the needs and solutions required for a successful last mile delivery. Airmee's differentiation with smaller, customer-oriented terminals fits our own scalable hardware well. It will be a real pleasure to join the journey."
