Black Friday is the most demanding period of the year for last-mile delivery and eCommerce logistics. Volumes surge, delivery windows tighten, and customer expectations reach their highest point.

For obibox, this year’s Black Friday marked a major milestone.

It became the largest operational week in our history, setting new records in delivery volumes and in the number of exceptions managed across our last-mile network.

A Record Black Friday for obibox

This Black Friday represented a turning point for obibox’s last-mile delivery operations in Canada.

• Record-breaking parcel volumes
• Increased operational complexity
• A higher number of delivery exceptions to manage
• Intense pressure on urban last-mile networks

Under these conditions, our teams remained focused, disciplined, and fully engaged.

Strong Execution in a High-Pressure Logistics Environment

Peak season logistics is never perfect — and transparency matters.

During Black Friday, obibox managed:

• Sudden volume spikes from eCommerce merchants
• Extremely tight delivery windows
• Complex edge cases requiring real-time operational decisions

While challenges did occur, the majority of deliveries were completed within regular agreed service levels, issues were identified quickly, and corrective actions were applied without delay.

Our teams stayed fully mobilized throughout the entire week to ensure service continuity for our customers and their end consumers.

Beyond Black Friday: Managing Holiday Peak Volumes

Black Friday is only the beginning of peak season.

In addition to Black Friday volumes, obibox successfully managed the sustained increase in delivery volumes throughout the holiday period, when demand remains high over several consecutive weeks.

Operating during the holiday season requires endurance, adaptability, and operational depth. Managing both Black Friday and holiday peak volumes demonstrated our ability to scale beyond a single event while continuing to manage exceptions, evolving merchant needs, and dense delivery schedules.

This period reinforced obibox’s capacity to support growing eCommerce brands during their most critical time of the year.

Always Learning, Always Improving Our Last-Mile Operations

Black Friday and the holiday peak act as powerful learning accelerators.

They allow obibox to:

• Improve volume forecasting and capacity planning
• Strengthen exception management processes
• Refine last-mile routing strategies
• Enhance collaboration with merchants and partners

Each peak season helps us build more resilient, efficient, and scalable last-mile delivery operations — not just for peak moments, but for everyday execution.

The Teams Behind the Performance

Technology and processes play a key role in peak logistics.
But performance ultimately comes down to people.

Our operations teams, support staff, and delivery partners gave their all throughout Black Friday and the holiday season, managing pressure, solving problems quickly, and keeping deliveries moving.

Their commitment is at the core of obibox’s execution during peak periods.

Looking Ahead

Black Friday is not an endpoint.
It is a benchmark.

The insights gained during Black Friday and the holiday peak directly shape how we prepare for future growth, higher volumes, and more complex delivery needs.

We thank our clients for their trust during this critical period and remain fully engaged for the rest of the season — and beyond.

Obibox — an exceptional experience, delivered efficiently, even at peak scale.

This bold choice reflects who we are: a company that pushes boundaries, embraces innovation, and believes creativity belongs at the heart of operations.

Why Color Matters in Logistics & Tech
Colors affect mindset. In logistics, precision and efficiency are key — but innovation requires imagination. By breaking away from the traditional corporate palette, we create an atmosphere that sparks new ideas, bold thinking, and cross-team collaboration. Visitors immediately sense that obibox is not just another logistics company — we are building the future of last-mile technology with creativity at our core.

Art in the Workplace: Éric Santerre at obibox
To further elevate our space, we commissioned internationally recognized Canadian artist Éric Santerre to create custom works of art for our walls.

Santerre is a celebrated painter whose work fuses surrealism, allegory, and symbolism. His career includes:

• A portrait of Grace Kelly, acquired by Prince Albert II of Monaco.
• Recognition at the Vatican in 2014 for his piece “Pinocchio.”
• Exhibitions at the Carrousel du Louvre (Paris) and the Beffroi Museum in Bruges.

His layered, thought-provoking paintings challenge the viewer to look deeper — perfectly aligned with our vision at obibox, where we seek to reimagine logistics with creativity and technology.

The Benefits of Bringing Culture Into the Office
Incorporating art and culture in a workspace goes beyond decoration. At obibox, it serves a purpose:

• Stimulating innovation – Art provokes new perspectives that fuel problem-solving.
• Strengthening identity – Our space reflects our values, creativity, and mission.
• Boosting wellbeing – Bold visuals and cultural elements uplift mood and energy.
• Fostering conversation – Art inspires dialogue and collaboration across teams.
• Differentiating our brand – Visitors instantly recognize obibox as unique in logistics.

A Unique Experience at obibox
When you step into our offices, you’ll see more than colors and canvases — you’ll feel the energy of creativity. Santerre’s art invites discovery, reflection, and inspiration. It’s a daily reminder to our team that we are here to innovate, challenge conventions, and shape the future of eco-friendly last-mile delivery.

At obibox, we don’t just deliver packages. We deliver an exceptional experience — starting with the space we create for our people.

A Space that embodies obibox

We set out to create more than just an office—our goal was to build a space that is fun, exciting, practical, and uniquely us. The office bursts with bold colors—pink, purple, burgundy, black, and orange—reflecting our brand’s vibrant personality. As one employee put it: “It feels more like a Silicon Valley tech office than a logistics company.”

Eco-Friendly and Budget-Smart Design

True to our values, we built our office with a focus on sustainability and frugality. Nearly all our furniture was sourced second-hand from Marketplace, from desks to décor. Almost nothing was bought new, with every item carefully negotiated. This approach not only kept costs low but also aligned with our commitment to waste reduction and the circular economy.

Built for Collaboration and Creativity

Our new office isn’t just a workspace—it’s a hub for connection and creativity. Designed to encourage cross-team collaboration between tech and operations, it’s a place where ideas can flow freely. A highlight of the space is our dedicated podcast studio, offering a platform to share stories, insights, and experiences with our community.

A New Chapter for obibox

This head office is more than walls and furniture—it’s a symbol of our journey and a launchpad for our future. After 7 years, we’re proud to finally offer our team a space built for innovation, teamwork, and growth. It’s a place where creativity thrives, and connections deepen.
