How it all started…

Tobias Buxhoidt and Julian Krenge got to know each other through a matchmaking event at EU funding program „SpeedUp Europe“. Anton Eder was then found through a job advertisement on the start-up scene and was added as the third founder.

Through their experience in the field of logistics, in 2014 the three recognized that changes needed to be made to how retailers treated their customers.

The idea for parcelLab came about through discussions with retailers who complained about a lack of transparency and customer experience during shipping.
