pakadoo

pakadoo is a German startup that focuses on revolutionizing the logistics industry. Founded in 2018, the company's core concept initially aimed to facilitate employees in receiving and returning private packages directly at their workplace, independent of the courier service provider. This is made possible through the establishment of a "pakadoo point" at companies, where packages are stored and distributed to employees with the aid of intelligent logistics software. The company has expanded its services to include package-independent lockers in addition to the manned pakadoo points within companies, enabling contactless package, equipment, and document transfers, regardless of work hours. Moreover, these lockers can also serve as package stations at public locations, accessible to all registered pakadoo users for package reception and returns. Notably, Verso Capital made a Private Equity Round investment in the company on 01 January 2018. With the introduction of pakadoo Business, a digital solution tailored for secure and transparent processing of business packages, the company has further diversified its product portfolio. The innovative software, digital platform, and intelligent locker solutions also form the basis for comprehensive city logistics concepts by pakadoo, aiming to optimize traffic flow, reduce inner-city traffic congestion, and support local commerce. pakadoo's initiatives have been recognized for their sustainability efforts, winning the Sustainability Logistics Prize of BVL in 2018 and the Hanseglobe Special Prize in 2019. Through its services, pakadoo not only consolidates package deliveries but also alleviates traffic in residential areas, reduces fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emissions from delivery vehicles, contributing to environmental conservation. This aligns with its vision to create more attractive and livable city centers.
