From 0 to 100 in Berlin – with the installation of the 100th smart parcel locker in Berlin, the largest open smart locker network in the German-speaking world has reached another milestone. Together with the new cooperation partner Deutsche Investment Kapitalverwaltung AG, myflexbox is expanding the network density and thus creating immediate added value for residents. The anniversary locker was recently put into operation at Utrechter Strasse 34.

Tenants of Deutsche Investment Kapitalverwaltung AG, residents of the surrounding area and anyone else who wants to use it now have more convenience and flexibility when receiving, sending and returning parcels. This is also in line with the sustainability aspirations of both companies, as the intelligent lockers are ideal smart city building blocks that can be used to save distances and CO₂.

Smart parcel lockers as a solution for urban challenges

Parcel volumes, which have been rising for years, pose challenges for urban areas, such as congested streets, increasing emissions and unnecessary journeys for residents. Customers’ needs have also changed: They want to decide for themselves when and where they receive deliveries and also want the greatest possible flexibility when it comes to delivery. This is where the neutral and open smart locker network from myflexbox comes in with 24/7 parcel services from several parcel service providers.

The infrastructure of the future

In addition to increased convenience and more flexibility for users, intelligent parcel lockers help to reduce emissions. According to a study, they reduce CO₂ emissions by up to 75% compared to traditional doorstep deliveries and save up to 2.2 tons of CO₂ per station every year. This contributes to climate targets and makes neighborhoods more liveable.
“The installation of our 100th parcel locker in Berlin is not just a significant milestone for us,” says Lukas Wieser, Co-CEO & Founder of myflexbox. “This success also reflects our ambition to make cities more liveable and climate-friendly. In Deutsche Investment Kapitalverwaltung AG, we have found a partner who passionately shares our vision of creating climate-friendly and efficient urban logistics. We are also pursuing this goal in over 40 other German cities outside of Berlin.”

“Our focus is on the responsible development of our real estate portfolios, which places both the needs of our tenants and the interests of our investors at the center. Our long-term approach includes continuous economic and ecological management of our properties. The cooperation with myflexbox strengthens our commitment in these areas,” adds Vladimir Alekseev, Senior Asset Manager at Deutsche Investment Kapitalverwaltung AG. “By implementing the parcel lockers, we offer our tenants more flexibility when it comes to shipping and delivering their parcels. This not only helps to relieve the traffic situation around our properties, but also helps to reduce unnecessary emissions. These measures lead to a long-term sustainable increase in the income and value of our properties, which also benefits our investors.”
