Improving Parcel and Postal Operations with Bar Code Printing (PDF, 272KB)
The postal and parcel industry is changing everywhere in the world. National postal operators, express parcel couriers, franchise mailers and other service providers must change their service offerings–and technology infrastructures–or they will lose in newly competitive, deregulated markets. The world’s leading post and parcel service providers have always been the most innovative and enthusiastic adopters of automatic identification technologies. Deregulated national postal services and other competitors now must match and even surpass the industry leaders in exploiting technology to control operating costs and enable new services. This white paper will: • Discuss specific opportunities to gain efficiency or new revenue in retail post office, express parcel, depot and delivery operations; • Describe how to improve asset management and security with bar code and radio frequency identification (RFID) technology; • Show how mobile printing technology can be used to create new sales and service offering • Explain how distributed bar code printing operations can create significant time and labor savings for depot and distribution operations; • Explain the key performance criteria for label printing systems in postal and parcel applications.
