PUDO and Lockers
Out-of-Home Delivery Network
Build an Out-of-Home Network in Days
Stand up pickup, drop-off and locker points across retail partners and public sites on light, low-cost devices, and manage the whole out-of-home network from the same platform that runs your counters and delivery.
The "Home-Delivery" Ceiling
Home delivery is the most expensive and least reliable leg of the network. Parcel volumes keep rising, drivers miss recipients, and every failed attempt is paid for twice while the parcel clogs the round.
Consumers have moved on. Across the Nordics, France, Germany and Poland, out-of-home points already handle around half of B2C parcels, and operators without a dense pickup network are ceding that volume to parcel-natives.
Out-of-Home, One Platform
Turn retail partners, lockers and your own branches into one pickup and drop-off network. Onboard a new point in days by pushing an app to a partner’s device, route parcels to the right location, and give recipients a collection option that fits their day.
Onboard in Days, Not Quarters
A new PUDO point goes live by installing a lightweight app on a partner’s existing device, with no dedicated hardware, no IT visit and low ongoing maintenance.
Lockers and Staffed Points, One System
Manage smart lockers, retail counters and agency points from a single platform, so parcels flow to whichever location suits the recipient and the round.
Dynamic Load Balancing
When home-delivery routes hit capacity, route overflow to PUDO points and lockers automatically, protecting your fleet through peak without turning volume away.
Escher runs some of the world’s largest PUDO estates, deployable on handhelds in days rather than quarters. Operators use it to expand coverage without fixed real estate, lift first-time collection and repurpose delivery units into out-of-home hubs.
IT & Procurement Confidence
Hardware Agnostic: Runs on a partner’s own smartphone or tablet, on locker hardware, or on light dedicated devices.
Integration: Open APIs connect lockers, carrier systems and the wider out-of-home network for overflow and handover.
Visibility: Full track-and-trace across every point keeps brand standards and chain of custody consistent, whoever hands the parcel over.
