Meeting with Pauline Chossec, Manager at E-picking, the startup created in 2020 which is developing an automated deposit solution dedicated to parcels >30KG<\/em><\/p>\n

Who are you ? And where does your entrepreneurial spirit come from?<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Pauline Chossec, 28 years old this year, and Brestoise. I graduated from ESC Brest and EBS Paris in business and international relations. I started my career in Paris as a recruitment manager\/consultant, where I developed and managed the real estate and Supply Chain departments.<\/p>\n

In spring 2019, the family group (specialized in the distribution, warehousing and logistics sectors) was in full development, and shared its evolution with me.<\/p>\n

I am lucky to have a family of entrepreneurs, who have always fueled this desire in me to create my own company and who offered me at that precise moment the possibility of adding a new complementary activity to the group.<\/p>\n

It was the time for me to embark on this adventure.<\/p>\n

So I started my departure, and left Paris to return to my roots!<\/p>\n

In September 2019, I joined the family structure with the mission of ensuring the development of an innovative service in the automated locker market dedicated to bulky items.<\/p>\n

How was your business born (context, findings, initial objectives, evolution, etc.)?<\/strong><\/h1>\n

During 2019, one of the group's companies, to complete its service offering and at the request of its professional customers, sought an automated solution allowing the deposit and collection of large and bulky parcels<\/strong> (to accommodate the equivalent of 2 European pallets).<\/p>\n

After carrying out a sourcing study, we have not identified any players on the European market<\/strong> and we therefore made the decision to create our own product in 2020<\/strong> to meet this need.<\/p>\n

At the same time, retailers and carriers<\/strong> asked us to test our solution, which allowed us to validate the technology and the market<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This is the beginning of E-Picking.<\/p>\n

Who are your clients ? And what need are you meeting?<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Our clients are initially private companies: logisticians, manufacturers and retailers.<\/strong><\/p>\n

For them, the short-term objective is to increase the distribution networks of relay points and distribute the number of crossing points in order to optimize the costs linked to the last mile.<\/p>\n

You should know that the delivery of the last km represents 30 % of urban congestion, 25 % of greenhouse gas emissions and can represent up to 50 % of the total cost of logistics.<\/p>\n

Today, for the delivery of packages >30Kg there are several problems:<\/p>\n
