Abstract
The Austrian Post is Austria’s leading player in the parcel shipping sector, an industry that has been hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic. Unlike other parts of the economy, CEP was confronted with sudden growth rates—especially during times of lockdown where classic retail was forced to stay closed.
The key factors to master this challenging time were high investments into the logistics infrastructure and ongoing efforts into innovations and digitalization. This chapter provides a deeper look into the measures that have been taken before and during the pandemic and gives insights into emerging technologies that will enable parcel shipping companies to handle not only the fast growing, e-commerce driven parcel volume but also future, unforeseeable disruptions.
