PFC Normandie: A new generation parcel sorting hub
Looking for a delivery partner to benefit from an innovative, efficient, and more environmentally friendly logistics solution for your parcel shipments?
In November, Colissimo opened its 7th new generation parcel sorting hub in Grand-Couronne (76), Normandy. Thanks to cutting-edge technologies and optimised organisation, entrusting your parcels to Colissimo guarantees faster, more reliable, and sustainable deliveries from or to the Rouen area. Discover how this innovative site is transforming parcel management while boosting the efficiency of the Colissimo network to support your business.
A purpose-built opening to meet your immediate needs
The new Colissimo Normandy hub is designed to meet even the most demanding performance expectations, especially during peak periods.
A proactive approach to be there when you need us most
The platform has been operational for a few weeks, and parcel sorting volumes have steadily increased, from 35,000 to 180,000 parcels per day. This has been made possible by meticulous planning and the commitment and training of Colissimo employees, supported by a dedicated team of logistics experts.
Exceptional sorting capacity
Under normal conditions, the platform sorts up to 180,000 parcels per day. During Peak Periods, this number can rise to 250,000 parcels processed daily thanks to a state-of-the-art double sorter. This ensures fast and precise handling of your shipments, no matter the time of year, even during busy periods.
Technology serving productivity and employee well-being
Innovation driving our performance
The platform integrates advanced technologies, such as autonomous robots and robotic cleaning machines. These innovations help reduce repetitive and physical tasks, providing our staff with a more efficient and safer working environment.
Automation and efficiency
Automation goes beyond parcel sorting. Intelligent systems manage the flow of parcels in real time, ensuring smooth operations even during volume spikes. Your parcels are handled swiftly, without compromising service quality.
Faster, smoother logistics thanks to optimised routes
The strategic location of the Normandy platform allows a direct connection to the Colissimo logistics network.
Shorter shipping times for your parcels
With early connections to other key hubs, such as those in Île-de-France and Hauts-de-France, your parcels leave the platform sooner, ensuring faster transit times and 24-hour delivery across much of the country. This optimisation directly benefits your customers, enhancing their satisfaction and your service quality.
A shared approach that makes a difference
By consolidating sorting and delivery activities at the same site, the platform eliminates the need for heavy freight transport. The result: shorter transport times and a reduced carbon footprint.
A model of sustainability: concrete evidence of ecological commitment at every level
"Green" technologies to minimise environmental impact
The new platform uses innovative solutions in its infrastructure, such as geothermal energy to regulate the temperature in the production hall, supplemented by heat pumps. These systems result in a 95% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions (source: ADEME).
Optimised energy management
The platform is equipped with photovoltaic panels for self-consumption, a natural ventilation system, and centralised technical management. These initiatives minimise the use of fossil fuels. The Normandy platform has been certified BREEAM Excellent, attesting to its low environmental impact.
More responsible journeys
The strategic location of the Normandy platform allows for optimised delivery routes, reducing heavy freight journeys and saving 160 tonnes of CO2 annually. This is a tangible step forward demonstrating Colissimo’s commitment to a more environmentally friendly logistics model.
Choose more than just the simple delivery of your clients' parcels
As you can see, by choosing Colissimo, you’re opting for performance, reliability, and responsibility. The Normandy platform is a new asset to strengthen your business and meet the growing demands of your clients during peak periods and throughout the year.
