TZ Limited (ASX: TZL) (“TZ” or “the Company”), the specialist in digital smart locking hardware and software, is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement to acquire an Australian network of Parcel Lockers from Couriers Please Pty Ltd (Australia). The ‘POP Station’ Parcel Locker network consists of 34 installed “Click, Collect and Return” Parcel Locker Banks strategically located in major locations across the East Coast of Australia and a further 19 Parcel Locker Banks that are ready to be deployed to sites of TZ’s choosing.
TZ is also pleased to announce that it has partnered with HUBBED Pty Ltd (“HUBBED”), a leading parcel collection point network with more than 2,000 collection locations in Australia. Through agreements with retailers and couriers HUBBED gives consumers more control and options regarding their preferred delivery, collection and return choices.
Together, the acquisition of the ‘POP Station’ network and the HUBBED partnership significantly enhances TZ’s ‘Click, Collect and Return’ service offering, while the new service is extremely complementary to TZ digital smart lock (SMArt Locker) and courier solutions.
Short-to-Medium Term Strategy
The acquisition is a seamless extension of TZ’s strategic focus to substantially grow its everyday revenues. TZ plans to grow this Parcel Locker network to over 100 locations within the first 18 months of acquisition and to over 300 Parcel Locker locations within the first three years. In order to grow utilisation of the Parcel Locker network TZ will partner with existing couriers and collection point partners to deliver seamless ‘Click, Collect and Return’ experience to consumers and retailers in the booming eCommerce sector.
TZ recognised an enormous opportunity post-Covid for the expansion of the Parcel Locker network; shopping centres looking for “foot traffic”, retailers looking to expand their eCommerce offerings and consumers looking for more convenient and efficient delivery methods.
This will be a new revenue stream for the company.
