Thanks to the booming cross-border online retail sector, international logistics flows are gaining in importance, offering potential for growth. Through Asendia, Swiss Post is making an important contribution to connecting Switzerland to other countries. The joint venture between Swiss Post and France’s La Poste offers comprehensive international e-commerce and logistics solutions.
In March 2021, Asendia acquired all of the shares in Irish company eShopWorld. The company supports international online retailers with technological solutions for end-to-end e-commerce: from marketing and the presentation of the product range in retailers’ shops to payment, shipping and returns solutions. “Thanks to eShopWorld, we can offer online retailers cross-border solutions along the entire value chain. This is an important distinguishing feature amid growing competition in the international e-commerce market,” says Ulrich Hurni, Chairman of the Asendia Board of Directors.
