Project description

The Logistics Network Architecture (ASL) is one of the most important strategic initiatives of Poczta Polska, enabling the smooth transformation of the current logistics network, adapted mainly to handling letters, to a target network aimed at handling the increasing volume of CEP (courier, express and parcel) and e-commerce shipments.

The implementation of the ASL project aims to modernize Poczta Polska's current logistics network. This will enable the company to achieve its logistics goals, which are one of the pillars of its strategy, in the coming years, and further develop its business in the areas of CEP, e-commerce, logistics, and international services. The project also aims to improve the efficiency (increasing timeliness, network throughput, and optimizing costs related to shipment handling) of the current logistics network.

As part of the ASL project, Poczta Polska will gradually transform its logistics infrastructure from letter to parcel, responding to changes observed in the postal market both in Poland and globally. The capital injection will enable the modernization and construction of logistics centers that will provide modern services for the growing e-commerce market.
