Mercialys, OneStock Partner to Strengthen Omnichannel Dimension of Shopping Centers

Mercialys (Paris:MERY) is announcing a groundbreaking partnership with OneStock to optimize the shipping of e-commerce packages from points of sale in its centers, further strengthening their omnichannel dimension. This partnership is in line with the Company’s strategic transformation plan and delivers a new response to the changes in the way that its end customers consume. This service will be gradually extended to cover all the centers.

Following the test phase carried out in the Angers shopping center at the end of 2019, Mercialys is announcing a groundbreaking partnership with OneStock, the European market leader for order management systems. OneStock provides retailers with a virtual unification solution for their storage points. Its software offers, among other things, ship from store capabilities for products that may be out of stock on e-commerce sites. In addition to increasing conversion rates, this makes it possible to reduce the logistics times and costs involved. OneStock ensures a unified buying experience for end customers and provides a concrete response to the challenge of last-mile logistics for retailers.

Mercialys has made available secure premises in the shopping center, making it possible to centralize the storage of packages for retailers using the OneStock service. Mercialys has also set up a daily collection of packages from retailers, as well as a single collection by the transport provider for all shipments from the centralization facility.

By simplifying the logistics involved with orders, Mercialys and OneStock are offering a significant improvement in their costs, turnaround times and carbon footprint for both retailers and transport firms.

With this new service, which will be gradually ramped up to cover the entire portfolio, Mercialys’ centers are positioned more than ever at the forefront of innovation as an operator within the last-mile supply chain. Building on the major advances made with other strategic initiatives (e.g. digital platform for delivery from sites and opening of coworking spaces), the Company is once again confirming its ability to transform its model in line with the challenges and stakes in the retail property sector.
