The company has acquired a minority stake as part of Belter's latest funding round. The investment represents a shared vision to modernise and co-innovate the parcel delivery industry through advanced smart delivery solutions and next-generation OOH (Out Of Home) parcel locker technology.
"We’re combining our shared vision with Belter’s innovative parcel solutions to change the way parcels reach their destination while setting new standards for security, convenience, flexibility, and sustainability. It’s our shared focus to adapt to evolving urban and parcel industry dynamics while revolutionizing the way we ship and receive packages, when possible, with smarter and more sustainable alternatives,” said Marc Gomez, CEO of Salto Wecosystem.
As the logistics industry handles increasing package deliveries, there is a growing need to find more sustainable ways to package, transport, deliver, and return parcels. Cities are under mounting pressure to lower emissions and reduce congestion, yet consumers expect both convenience and speedy delivery pickups. Belter provides smart, autonomous locker compartments in assorted sizes that are customizable to daily volume requirements.
"We’re inspired to leverage our respective strengths and expertise to shape the future of parcel delivery. Our investment reinforces our commitment to driving growth and delivering innovative solutions" Elmar Hartmann, CEO of Gantner, a Salto Wecosystem company that offers smart electronic locker solutions.
Belter Founder Rick Voogt expressed enthusiasm, highlighting the investment’s potential to drive impactful advancements in the parcel delivery infrastructure.
"Salto Wecosystem’s investment and collaboration will help Belter expand its business and advance the development and modernisation of our parcel delivery infrastructure. This will help us better serve customers and our logistics operating partners, leveraging Salto Wecosystem’s smart access technology and expertise," said Voogt.
