Thinventory, a global provider of business-to-engineer (B2E) field inventory networks, has gone live with a new network of pick-up and drop-off (PUDO) locations to complement its existing smart box network.

The service, named PUDO+, has launched to draw on Thinventory’s distribution infrastructure, providing customers with flexibility and reliability.

Thinventory delivers critical parts to engineers, helping customers meet tight service level agreements, and operate more efficiently.

The PUDO+ service extends Thinventory’s network, which already includes over 1,500 locker locations, by adding manned handover points. Customers will have the option to select collection points based on stock type, engineer requirements, or specific project needs.

Customers and their engineers who use PUDO+ can draw on the full suite of Thinventory services including comprehensive end-to-end parts tracking, productivity-enhancing tools such as the Thinventory Mobile app, and a broad range of solutions designed to tackle supply chain challenges.

The new PUDO+ network will also support oversized parts that may not fit in standard lockers.

Thinventory CEO Dave Wilson said: “The launch of PUDO+ gives customers the best of both worlds, offering the opportunity to blend both locker services and PUDOs.

“Built on Thinventory’s proven reliability and 99.7% on-time delivery performance, PUDO+ delivers the trusted service which our customers expect with flexibility of a PUDO, to cater for different project requirements and inventory sizes.”

The PUDO+ network is available now, with trial customers receiving deliveries. Customers can register their interest with their Thinventory account manager.

Thinventory supports the logistics and operational requirements of field engineers across multiple industries, including utilities, telco, IT, healthcare and data centres.

In the UK, the company has a Slough-based headquarters and nine distribution centres across the UK, with key sites including Coventry, Solihull, Bristol and Glasgow.

Thinventory also recently appointed Adam Smith as managing director to support its next growth phase.

Thinventory has been recognised with two prestigious industry awards finalist placings, including Last Mile Delivery Business of the Year and Most Innovative Product of the Year at Logistics UK’s 2025 Awards. The winners are being announced imminently.
