Hermes is new partner of 004

Hermes Logistik Gruppe

Aschaffenburg, July 30th 2007 - The full service e-commerce provider 004 GmbH takes on a professional partner in the field of dispatch.

Since its formation in 2003, 004 GmbH for Advisory and General Services has been steadily expanding its services and for this purpose, when required, also integrating competent partners.

The wide range of services for the online commerce industry includes not only the preparation and operation of web shops, but also storage and logistics. As 004 GmbH is continuously looking for potential improvements, contract negotiations with Hermes-Versand took place last month.

Like 004, Hermes Logistik Gruppe is an innovative and therefore growing company. When it comes to delivering to private households (B2C and C2C sectors), Hermes is Germany's largest logistics service provider, independent of the postal service, and transports (virtually) everything: from letters through parcels to furniture and large electrical appliances.

With its 13.000 Hermes Parcel Shops, the group has nationwide network coverage of collection points for private parcel shipments, which can also be used as an alternative delivery address for the mail-order trade.

An advantage that Hermes has over its competitors and that shouldn't be underestimated is the possibility of shipments in bags, which is particularly convenient and economical for several customers of 004 GmbH.

And as the customer's satisfaction is a top priority for both companies, it was not least Hermes' motto that convinced 004 GmbH: "Always well received!"
