Expansion of Automated Pickup Network

Wildberries, the largest international marketplace in Russia and the CIS, announced plans to expand its fully automated pickup point (PVZ) network to 10 locations by 2026. Founder Tatyana Kim shared this in an interview with TASS ahead of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF).

Context and Background

Currently, two 'smart PVZ' operate in Moscow. By the end of 2024, the network will grow to 10 points. These automated PVZ function 24/7 without requiring staff, offering convenience for urban dwellers who can collect orders at any time.

Industry Impact

The expansion of automated PVZ reflects the retail industry's shift toward digitization. This reduces operational costs (no staff required) and accelerates delivery times. Wildberries, active in Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Armenia, Uzbekistan, and other countries, offers millions of products—from clothing to electronics. Increasing PVZ locations will strengthen the company's market position and improve logistics for millions of customers.
