Vinted unveils new B2B digital shipping platform Vinted Go

Secondhand marketplace Vinted has unveiled Vinted Go, a new B2B digital shipping platform which "brings together and optimises third party carrier infrastructure for its marketplace and future business customers".

The platform combines the Lithuanian company's technology, IT and operations infrastructure, and enables businesses to 'plug in' to Vinted’s multi-carrier network through a single integration process. It also removes the need to sign multiple individual agreements with carriers.

Vinted Go’s new offering is available for domestic and cross-border deliveries across Europe.

It focuses on PUDO (pick-up, drop-off) as a delivery option which can have lower carbon emissions than in-home delivery. It will also  provide customers access to its network of national and international shipping carriers in 14 countries and 220,000 PUDO points.

The shipping service will support a standard delivery time of 2-3 working days for local delivery, and 3-5 working days for international shipping. The service will be particularly suited to companies shipping small-medium items and consumer products, including fashion items, household products, equipment for sports and home office supplies.

Vinted Go said it has a strong pipeline of potential new customers who are looking to improve their deliveries to PUDO, in Spain, Italy, France, the UK, Benelux, Germany.

Vytautas Atkočaitis, Vice President at Vinted Go, said: "We are excited to announce the launch of our new digital shipping platform. As a brand, we aspire to create the best possible shipping experience to our customers. Our team is connecting the fragmented shipping infrastructure through our network of carriers and delivery partners, and our new solution offers an affordable and more convenient delivery option.

"As a digital business, our goal is to make international e-commerce as smooth as possible, and today marks an important milestone towards that aspiration.”
