Courier Center has announced a partnership with Lastmily, a Greek technology company specialising in the optimisation and management of last-mile delivery (last-mile delivery).
According to the announcement, Lastmily has earned significant international recognition for its technology. In 2024, it was named among the Top 5 Most Promising EU Logistics Startups by Leaders in Logistics, while in 2025 it was recognised among the Top 10 Global Routing Startups by international innovation platform StartUs Insights.
The partnership is part of Courier Center’s strategic investment in technology and in improving the recipient experience. At a time when speed is no longer the only measure of a successful delivery, timely updates, visibility, security and the ability to manage a shipment are among consumers’ key requirements.
What is changing in deliveries
Through Lastmily’s technology, Courier Center is enhancing its capabilities in:
- More accurate and timely updates for recipients.
- Greater visibility at every stage of delivery.
- Flexible delivery options tailored to recipients’ needs.
- Safer delivery and proof of receipt using a PIN.
- More efficient route planning and better fleet management.
- Fewer unnecessary journeys and a smaller environmental footprint.
The rollout of the new platform has already begun in Athens and Thessaloniki, with the aim of gradually extending it across Courier Center’s entire network and achieving full coverage across Greece.
The new technology operates alongside and complements Courier Center’s investment in its digital assistant, and forms part of the broader digital transformation programme the company has been implementing over the past 12 months. The aim is to use technology at every critical point in the delivery experience, giving recipients more information, greater flexibility and meaningful control over their shipments.
At the same time, route optimisation technology enables more efficient planning of daily routes, better use of the fleet and fewer unnecessary journeys, helping to reduce CO₂ emissions.
Vasilis Balourdos, CEO of Courier Center, said: “Getting a delivery right and on time is the foundation of our work, but it is no longer the whole experience recipients expect. Our strategy is to give them greater control and genuine freedom of choice.
With Lastmily, our digital assistant and the option of delivery to lockers and PUDO points, we are developing Courier Center into a comprehensive provider of last-mile services, combining delivery to recipients’ addresses, alternative collection points and modern digital services. We want technology to make delivery simpler for recipients and more efficient for our customers. That is how we want Courier Center to stand out.”
