We are PostNL, the mail and logistics solutions provider for all.

With our mail and parcel deliverers who get everywhere, our over 4,200 PostNL locations and 11,000 postboxes, we are always nearby. We aim to be our customers’ favourite deliverer by making it as easy as possible for them to send and receive parcels and letters. Our over 40,000 people are right at the heart of society.

On weekdays, we deliver an average 1.1 million parcels and 8.1 million letters across the Benelux region. Digital transformation is central to PostNL’s operations. We optimise our physical networks by using smart digital solutions and launching new propositions that create value for our customers.

To make our deliveries as sustainable as possible, we cover a lot of kilometres on foot, by bicycle or by e-bike, provide innovative city logistics, use cleaner fuels, and use electric vans and light electric trucks. PostNL NV is a listed company with revenues of €3.3 billion in 2020, 63% of this derived from e-commerce. It provides deliveries of mail and parcels, logistics solutions for e-commerce, and cross-border solutions.

All these operations are supported by state of the art, cloud native logistic applications crafted with ❤️ in our technology departments.

PostNL’s engineering capability is growing, and it is growing fast. In the past years we have invested heavily to establish our own software development capability so that we can create and operate the technology backbone of our logistics operation. Together with our partners, we have over a decade of experience with cloud native workloads on the logistics domain.

You cannot find any data centers in PostNL and it has been like that for years because we are a company that fully operates on the cloud. Sounds interesting? We are always looking for new talent to work together on AWS and Mendix solutions. Please check the available positions on our career page.
