Columat Redefines the Operating Model for Physical Exchanges

The Invisible Infrastructure

In a world where immediacy and autonomy are the new currency, managing physical flows has become the major bottleneck for operational efficiency. Today, it is estimated that up to 70% of physical exchange processes in organizations are not yet digitized , generating critical inefficiencies: from failed deliveries and a lack of traceability to the breakdown of the cold chain in sensitive sectors.

Faced with this scenario, we are proud to announce the launch of our new brand identity and web platform. This change represents our consolidation as an end-to-end technological ecosystem designed to connect physical exchanges in an invisible, efficient, and frictionless way.

The Columat Ecosystem

Our value proposition is now structured as an integral solution that combines three fundamental pillars to transform daily operations:

• Smart Lockers: Modular and connected units designed to facilitate autonomous delivery, collection, and exchange processes.
• Columat Manager: Intelligent software providing real-time visibility, total control, and seamless integration with existing systems via API.
• Operational Services: Support, predictive maintenance, and 24/7 availability to ensure frictionless implementation and usage.

This integration enables us to achieve a clear ambition: 100% traceability with 0% manual intervention.

Cross-Sector Temperature Control

The differentiating heart of Columat is our cross-sector thermal control capability. While conventional systems are limited to standard parcels, our solutions are designed as standard for critical sectors requiring controlled temperatures.

This technology guarantees the maintenance of the cold chain until the exact moment of collection , eliminating the risk of shrinkage and food or medical waste. Whether for a supermarket looking to evolve its Click & Collect , a company implementing unattended dining rooms , or a hospital automating the delivery of thermolabile medication , the Columat system ensures product integrity at all times.

Impact on Key Industries

Our cross-sector solution is transforming operations across multiple real-world scenarios:

• Corporate & Real Estate: We reduce manual staff tasks by up to 63% and eliminate saturation in reception areas.
• Retail: We boost the physical channel and sales outside of commercial hours (+58%) without the need to increase staff.
• Last Mile Logistics: We optimize routes and drastically reduce failed deliveries by up to 47%.
• Healthcare: We guarantee regulatory compliance in the custody of pharmaceuticals and clinical samples with total traceability.
• Industrial & Warehouses: We automate the loan of picking tools, PDAs, and PPE, eliminating losses and ensuring devices are always charged for the next shift.

Future Vision: European Leadership

With 100% proprietary technology and deep European know-how , Columat is already the strategic partner for global leaders such as Inditex, ABB, CaixaBank, RICOH, Telefónica, and Compass Group.

At Columat, we don't just manufacture Smart Lockers; we build the invisible infrastructure upon which the operational models of the future are based. Our new brand reaffirms this commitment: connecting physical exchanges with total visibility, traceability, and efficiency.
