5 years ago, our founders Anton Eder, Tobias Buxhoidt and Julian Krenge launched the idea of parcelLab. What has happened since then and how has the company evolved over the past few years from a start-up to the first port of call when it comes to operations experience after the sale?

How it all started - a review

Through a matchmaking of the EU funding program "SpeedUp Europe" Tobias Buxhoidt and Julian Krenge got to know each other. Anton Eder was then acquired via a classic job ad on Gründerszene and thus joined as the third founder.

Due to their experience in the field of logistics, the three already realized in 2014 that the time had come for a change of the classic structures.

The idea for parcelLab came about through conversations with retailers who complained about a lack of transparency and an end to the customer experience in the area of shipping.
