Kiala was a Belgium based, pan-European, courier service offering parcel delivery to convenient customer collection points, reducing costs for suppliers and increasing flexibility for consumers.
We invested to help Kiala expand across Europe. The company developed a new technology platform which automated all transportation and delivery activities and created a collection points network for the delivery of parcels to end-consumers, providing an alternative to home delivery. We worked with management on strategic business planning and on strengthening the board and played a vital role in the eventual sale to UPS, the world’s largest package delivery company. Kiala now operates as UPS Access PointTM.
