Tech/Engineering - Transport / Transportation / Shipping / A mobile terminal app from a large logistics company: features in the pipeline
German term or phrase: eigener Paketversand
Hi,

Why would Z, being a parcel service/large logistics company, list "eigener Paketversand" as being in the development pipeline for its app?

Die Z App Y, mit der Empfänger detaillierte Informationen über Sendungen erhalten und die Warenannahme optimieren können, soll kontinuierlich weitere Funktionen erhalten.
So können Empfänger über die App spätestens ab Anfang 2018 auch Öffnungs- und Urlaubszeiten hinterlegen, die Z dann bei der Zustellung automatisch berücksichtigt.
Weitere Anwendungen, die sich in der Entwicklung befinden, sind Sendungsverfügung (etwa Auslieferung an eine andere Adresse), ***eigener Paketversand***, In-App-Bezahlung (etwa bei Nachnahmen), Anwendung auch auf PC, Chat mit Z Kundenservice."

In a rush,

in-house delivery service


Explanation:
I often encounter 'eigen' to mean 'in-house' in the sense that it's a service within a company's overall operation that is not subcontracted to another company.

For example: https://www.welt.de/wirtschaft/article150713535/Jetzt-baut-A...

I hope my contribution is not too late!
