It has been 7 months since the business was fully launched, with an average monthly delivery volume of 150,000.

Predit Delivery Service is a new business utilizing hy's own logistics network, expanding the delivery range to include both company-produced products and purchased goods. hy plans to increase the processing volume and achieve 5 million deliveries annually starting from May next year, when the Nonsan logistics center is completed.

hy cited the 'Fresh Manager' workforce of about 11,000 as the core of Predit Delivery Service. They communicate with customers to adjust delivery times and respond in real-time to customer requests such as returns. By applying a cold chain system during the distribution process, freshness can be maintained until just before delivery. It enables the delivery of products that are difficult to handle, such as fruits, lunch boxes, and salads.

Currently, hy partners with over 20 companies to handle subscription-based razors, health functional foods, cosmetics, and more. They also deliver credit cards, diagnostic kits, and coffee beans. Kim Jung-woo, head of hy's delivery business team, said, "Predit Delivery Service is attracting interest from many consignors as it supports not only one-time deliveries but also refrigerated and subscription-based delivery services," adding, "We plan to operate a partnership delivery section on our own online mall 'Predit' to support consignors' marketing activities."
