Vor 5 Jahren gründeten unsere Gründer Anton Eder, Tobias Buxhoidt und Julian Krenge die Idee zu parcelLab. Was ist seitdem passiert? Wie hat sich das Unternehmen von einem Start-up, das Einzelhändlern hilft, ihre Post-Purchase Customer Journey zu verbessern, zu dem Spezialisten für Operations Experience (OX) entwickelt? Let’s take a look…
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.

Starting with the three founders, over 80 operations experience experts now work across our four offices in Munich, London, Paris and Los Angeles.
