Since 2020, Poste Italiane and sennder have been on a joint mission to make road logistics in Italy and beyond digital and efficient.
Poste Italiane forms the largest service distribution network in Italy. Its activities range from letter and parcel delivery to financial and insurance services, payment systems and mobile telecommunications. For sennder, Poste Italiane is both one of the largest investors and an important strategic partner.
The joint journey began in 2020, when sennder established operations in Milan and created sennder Italia S.r.l. through a JV with Poste Italiane. Since then, sennder Italia S.r.l. has become the leading digital operator in the Italian Full Truck Load (FTL) market. Through the partnership, Poste Italiane benefits from full GPS visibility of trucks, state-of-the-art automation technology and reduced CO2 emissions through vehicles powered by alternative fuels, as well as their increased utilization. The success of the partnership has led to continuous year over year double-digit growth as sennder Italia S.r.l. has grown its network capacity and expanded its customer base.
In 2023, Poste Italiane and sennder have renewed their Italian joint venture and commercial agreement for up to 10 years, with the potential to generate up to €2.3 billion revenues for sennder Italia during that period. Together, the two logistics leaders are utilizing technology to optimize FTL operations and boost the movement of parcels and mail between Italy’s sorting and distribution hubs.
The collaboration was the initial blueprint for sennCONTROL, sennder’s innovative service model. sennCONTROL offers end-to-end digital management of customers’ FTL volume through a single portal and interface, ensuring control, transparency, and a single point of contact for shippers and carriers. The collaboration between sennder and Poste Italiane has paved the way for the expansion of sennCONTROL across Europe.
