The Platform Group establishes own fulfilment company
In connection with the new establishment, the company took over a logistics warehouse in Gladbeck, which has an area of 12,000 square metres and a daily shipping capacity of 12,500 parcels.
'The storage of products and goods of the partners connected to the platform takes place via the IT interface of the TPG software, with delivery directly to the logistics centre in Gladbeck,' The Platform Group explained. 'In addition to the storage of goods, all partners can process their returns via the warehouse and thus directly put the goods back live on the 25 platforms of TPG.' There is also the option with the landlord 'to expand the areas modularly in order to utilise an increasing area potential in the future'. New logistics location in Gladbeck replaces 'island solutions'
Dominik Benner, the chief executive officer of The Platform Group AG, explained the move: 'We have been preparing the fulfilment solution for over a year, so that our thousands of partners can now store goods there and have returns processed,' he explained in a statement. 'This is part of our full-service approach. There is another reason: in individual investments, we have our own warehouse, spread across Germany. We are now dissolving these island solutions and consolidating them at one location in Gladbeck.'
Benner also emphasised that the new solution would lead to significant savings and improve the cost ratio in logistics from the fourth quarter of the current year. This article was translated to English using an AI tool.

Celtic given huge boost in transfer pursuit of 23-year-old star as club chief admits they may have to sell at lower cost
He was previously rated at around £10million 'WE ARE LOSING MONEY' Celtic given huge boost in transfer pursuit of 23-year-old star as club chief admits they may have to sell at lower cost CELTIC have been handed a boost in their potential pursuit of a young star on their transfer wishlist. The Hoops have signed six players already this summer but Brendan Rodgers is still keen to add a few more. Advertisement 1 Le Havre's French defender Etienne Youte (R) in action Credit: AFP One player who has reportedly been targeted is Le Havre defender Etienne Youte. Earlier this month we told you how Celtic had joined the race for the 23-year-old centre-back. The highly-rated French defender was previously on the books of Inter Milan and his future at Le Havre is up in the air, with the Ligue 1 side experiencing financial uncertainties. Youte was a £10million target for West Ham and other clubs last year and at the start of this month, it was reported that Le Havre would accept £4.3m. Advertisement With the financial situation worsening and the player in the last year of his deal, they could go even LOWER than that. West Ham could rekindle their interest and fellow English club Burnley are believed to be monitoring his situation. And European sides such as Anderlecht and Besiktas are also keeping tabs. Jean-Michel Roussier, club president, has admitted that Le Havre find themselves in a precarious position. Advertisement And it may force them into a sale at a lower price than they value the player.

Youte played for Troyes at youth level then moved to Inter Milan where he made 48 appearances for their Under-19s side.

RB Leipzig set new lower asking price for Chelsea and Arsenal target Xavi Simons
Arsenal and Chelsea will be able to sign Xavi Simons for a discounted price if they formalise their interest in the wantaway RB Leipzig star. The Netherlands international has made clear his desire to leave the Bundesliga club this summer. RB's position has been rendered weak following their failure to qualify for European football next season. Simons has just two years left on his contract and with no prospect of a contract extension in the offing, Simons' departure is looking increasingly certain. London rivals Arsenal and Chelsea are carefully monitoring Simons' situation while Bayern Munich are also understood to be in the mix. Wake up to find news on your club in your inbox every morning with Metro's Football Newsletter. Sign up to our newsletter and then select your team in the link we'll send you so we can get football news tailored to you. The German champions were stunned after missing out on Florian Wirtz who sealed a British record move to Liverpool having opted to leave Bayer Leverkusen earlier this summer. RB Leipzig were hoping to make a sizable profit on the €50m (£41.8m) they spent to sign the player earlier this year but, according to Fabrizio Romano, the creative midfielder will now be available for under €70m. Whether that will be a valuation that would tempt Barcelona back into the mix remains to be seen. On Thursday, Barcelona's sporting director, Deco, met with Simons' brother Faustino and the midfielder's advisor, Ali Barat, at a hotel in the city. Barca are unlikely to be able to finance a deal if they were required to compete with the Bundesliga giants and have already seen a move for Nico Williams fall through earlier in the window. In any case, Simons is, according to Bild, minded to join an English side to continue his development having endured something of a nomadic career to this point. The 22-year-old already has the names of Paris Saint-Germain, where he had two different spells, PSV and Leipzig on his CV. More Trending Arsenal have made just one attacking signing so far this summer with Noni Madueke having completed his move from Chelsea last week. A move for Viktor Gyokeres is still hanging in the balance while little progress has been made on a reported move for Eberechi Eze. Real Madrid's Rodrygo is said to remain on Arsenal's radar but his wage demands are likely to prove prohibitive. Chelsea, for their part, have signed two strikers already in Joao Pedro and Liam Delap but are seeking further reinforcements.

Liverpool FC agree fee of up to £79million for striker Hugo Ekitike
Liverpool FC have agreed a deal worth up to £79million for striker Hugo Ekitike. The Reds have agreed to pay a guaranteed £69m to sign the France Under-21 international, with a further £10m possible in add-ons. Ekitike has been given permission by club Eintracht Frankfurt to travel to Merseyside to complete the deal, with the Reds hoping he can join the squad on their pre-season tour in Asia. Manchester United and Newcastle United have been among the interested parties but Premier League champions Liverpool look set to sign the striker. The 23-year-old scored 22 goals in all competitions for the German club after making his loan move from Paris St Germain permanent last summer. It would be the second time this year that Eintracht Frankfurt have sold one of their key players to an English club, after Egyptian Omar Marmoush joined Manchester City in January. Liverpool sporting director Richard Hughes and some medical staff did not travel with the Reds to Hong Kong on Sunday in order to complete the signing. The Reds are looking to build on manager Arne Slot's successful first season at the club, where they won the Premier League title. Ekitike would become Liverpool's seventh signing of the summer, taking their spending to nearly £300 million. The striker would join new recruits Florian Wirtz, Jeremie Frimpong, Milos Kerkez, Giorgi Mamardashvili, Armin Pecsi and Freddie Woodman.
