I had the opportunity to work with Michael and found him really prepared: he supported me and our network with a positive attitude. He’s reactive and passionate, always available to help solving emergency cases and managing normal operations. I really think he’s a precious resource for the business both from human and professional point of view.

Michael joined Vans and made a significant contribution to the success of the CS team. A quick learner, dedicated and passionate about the product, he was well respected within the group and his knowledge of the brand and product proved extremely valuable. Michael has a positive attitude, ‘can do’ approach, and combined with his language skills proved to be a valuable member of the group. I have no hesitation in writing a recommendation for Michael and wish him the best in his future career.

      The constant and exponential growth of e-commerce and the increasingly rapid delivery times demanded by manufacturing companies have caused the express delivery market to explode, with annual growth rates of over 10%. At the same time, the control of the entire process, from the stipulation of the contract with the carrier to the execution of the shipment, is becoming a fundamental necessity for companies; a necessity that is met by computer technology, the use of which, however, is the prerogative of large companies due to the costs involved. Sharing these technologies among several companies allows costs to be shared and makes the use of advanced technologies a reality even for medium-sized and small companies, optimizing times and costs and offering the customer a logistical solution adapted to their needs. The addition of dedicated professional support has created a reality capable of understanding and concretely helping companies to face the globalized world, without distracting them from their "Core Business". Customized shipping solutions, combined with professional support and dedicated customer service are the key to ParcelValue's success.
