The network now includes over 11,700 collection points in 7 European markets. In 2014, Kiala & UPS will count on more than 13,000 collection points in their European network. Kiala is Europe's leading service provider of collection points networks for the delivery of parcels to end-consumers. The Kiala collection Points consist of local shops (newsagents, pressing, fleurist,...) where people can collect, pay for and/or return their parcels quickly, when it suits them best. The network of Kiala Points is supported by a unique technological platform, which automates all transportation and delivery activities (Track & Trace, automatic notification upon parcel arrival, cash-on-delivery…). Kiala is available at over 450 companies including the leading internet pure-players, multi-channel retailersand traditional mail order companies. Kiala also extended its service to new segments like the reverse logistic of electronic products .
