Planeta de Agostini global subscription management

Akoma and Planeta Agostini have been collaborating for more than 30 years, evolving together from traditional distribution through newsstands and subscriptions to a global e-commerce model. Akoma has accompanied each stage of the digital transformation, adapting its logistics to the new forms of consumption. Today it manages Planeta Agostini's logistics centre in Barberà del Vallès and international subscriptions from Bolian by Akoma, relying on advanced automation, a robotised station and its own OMS that guarantees efficiency, traceability and fully connected logistics management.

Origins and traditional distribution

Thirty years ago, Akoma began to manage the handling of the emblematic Planeta Agostini collections. At that time, the products were mainly distributed through newsstands and subscriptions, using press couriers and post offices as logistical channels.

This stage laid the foundations for a solid and pioneering relationship, in which Planeta Agostini became a key reference point for Akoma in the evolution of distribution models.

First steps towards underwriting and advanced logistics

The subscriptions marked a turning point in the relationship between Akoma and Planeta Agostini, driving a progressive transition towards more structured and efficient logistics management models.

During this phase, Akoma began to adapt to new operational needs, anticipating the changes that would later define e-commerce.

Digital transformation and the rise of e-commerce

Over the years, the digital transformation brought a new challenge. What used to be bought in kiosks was now bought from anywhere in the world via the internet.

Akoma has been present at every stage of this evolution, guaranteeing efficiency, quality and innovative solutions to accompany the growth of Planeta Agostini's global e-commerce.

Logistics consolidation and international expansion

Akoma currently manages the Planeta Agostini logistics centre in Barberà del Vallès and manages subscriptions worldwide from its new logistics centre. Bolian by Akoma, designed specifically to meet the demands of modern e-commerce.

Automation, technology and connected logistics

Akoma's robotic station, equipped with 20 robots and 20,000 trays, handles more than 350,000 units daily, guaranteeing speed, precision and traceability.

In addition, Akoma has its own OMS (Order Management System), which automates the operational management of B2C and B2B orders, with native integrations with Shopify and WooCommerce, offering a fully connected and efficient logistics experience.
