Overview

• A new Vahrenwald site in Hannover extends Flink’s footprint while other services pull back from rapid delivery promises.
• Flink operates a nationwide network of about 97 stations, with managers responsible for multiple locations.
• Orders move through a split system of warehouse pickers and bike couriers using e-bikes for minute-scale drop-offs.
• Warehouses are intentionally sorted in nontraditional ways to cut picking errors, said manager Martin Behrendt.
• Riders report high stress but value flexible schedules, keeping the spotlight on working conditions for delivery staff.
