Developing A Printer Solution For The Swiss Post
The Swiss Post is responsible for moving huge quantities of goods every day. Most of the parcel mail posted by private customers are individual consignments and low in volume. An estimated 150 million parcels are transported by the Swiss Post every year. These differ in terms of their packaging, weight, and dimensions and also in terms of the quality of their packing.
Whether a forwarder delivers a truck load or the Post Office delivers an individual parcel, to the right place at the right time and undamaged, is naturally a prerequisite for both service providers. The difference in the service is that the forwarder generally delivers goods to a single or a few consignees, and ordinarily unloads directly at the consignee's premises.
The challenge for the Swiss Post is to be able to accept parcels in varying shapes, sizes and weights, at all post office counters and forward them to every conceivable destination within Switzerland and beyond Swiss Frontiers.
