In brief

With Swiss-Express Innight Shop – the overnight logistics for supplying shops and branches – your goods reach the point of sale (POS) before the shop even opens. We collect goods in Switzerland and abroad and deliver them right to the store shelf on request. This creates space in your warehouse, and staff can focus on sales during opening hours. As an approved recipient, we handle customs clearance in full and ensure the smooth flow of goods from the EU. Our returns management process enables goods to be returned easily.

The advantages for you

  • Delivery outside opening hours
  • Sales area maximized due to reduced warehousing requirements
  • Secure and flexible key and badge management
  • Delivery to store shelves
  • Handling and management of your reusable containers
  • Straightforward and secure returns management with value-added services such as recycling and professional disposal

Here’s how it works

  • Provide consignment data

    Send us your consignment data with ease by 9 p.m. at the latest via the “Swiss-Express Web” online service or the EDI interface.

  • Collection

    We collect goods from Monday to Friday, late in the afternoon or in the evening, at the agreed location in Switzerland or abroad.

  • Overnight transport

    We transport the consignment to its destination overnight so it arrives before the store opens. During transport, the goods are part of the Swiss-Express logistics system, which guarantees high standards of punctuality and security.

  • Delivery before the shop opens

    Your goods are delivered to the agreed location from Tuesday to Saturday before the shop opens, and, on request, to the store shelf itself. We manage around 8,000 anonymized keys and badges for access to locked stores or stores fitted with alarms. In doing so, we guarantee smooth, secure deliveries.

  • Returns management

    During the next delivery, we collect returns, packaging and containers that are placed at the agreed point of delivery and transport them back. You can choose the time and frequency of returns.
