How can National Postal Networks win on deliveries<\/h1>\n

The Post and Parcel industry is a massive one. Estimated at around $400 billion<\/span> USD in 2020 (<\/span>source<\/span><\/a><\/span>), it is growing at 8-10% annually. The covid pandemic has<\/span> stymied international shipping but has accelerated national e-commerce growth<\/span> and the spotlight is on postal networks and courier companies to rise up to the<\/span> need.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Postal Networks and National Posts across the globe have become more relevant<\/span> and the need for technology automation (latest parcel management system, real<\/span> time\u00a0GPS vehicle tracking, courier management) is at its pinnacle as consumer<\/span> behaviour shifts. The likes of Amazon and Uber have made one-day and same day<\/span> delivery a norm in the urban areas of the world and postal networks are upgrading<\/span> their logistics management software to match the trend.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A<\/span>t LogiNext, we work with several national postal networks across the globe<\/span> providing them with world class field workforce automation, parcel tracking and<\/span> delivery route optimisation through LogiNext Mile<\/a><\/span>, our flagship SaaS (Software as a<\/span> Service) platform for all mile logistics automation.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are some critical areas and features where LogiNext helps postal networks to<\/span> have a clear advantage:<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

1) Smooth transition from handling letters to parcels<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"transition<\/p>\n

Parcel volumes have significantly gone up due to the boost of e-commerce which<\/span> has been accelerated by the covid pandemic. Most of the postal networks and<\/span> economies of nations which are linked took a hit as all international exchange was<\/span> brought to a standstill but organisations are rising back up and postal networks that<\/span> had invested in technology and automation have been able to manage. LogiNext\u2019s<\/span> Mile platform is used by several top postal networks to effectively diversify their<\/span> business model and efficiently handle increasing parcel volumes.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

2) Learnings from other postal networks\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

LogiNext is used by the best performing National Post in Asia Pacific, Middle East<\/span> and Americas. Different postal networks are at different phases of development and<\/span> since we\u2019ve worked with several national posts, our parcel management software<\/span> app is agile and flexible to meet any need of a postal network.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are the top performing postal networks according to a Universal Postal Union<\/span> October 2020 Report: <\/span><\/p>\n

3) Real time tracking and visibility increases reliability<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Using LogiNext, one can easily track delivery personnel movement in real-time,<\/span> engage with live insights and ground-level information to better direct the<\/span> deliveries. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"real<\/p>\n

This complete real-time visibility helps postal networks give accurate<\/span> ETAs to the end customer and this increases reliability. Reliability is a key pillar for<\/span> ranking in the above chart which is an indicator as to how well a nation\u2019s postal<\/span> service is performing.<\/span><\/p>\n

4) Reduce operational cost by up to 20% using AI & ML algorithms\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"Ai<\/p>\n

LogiNext platform is powered by Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning to<\/span> help you automate dispatch scheduling and manage in real-time. Order batching,<\/span> seamless real time tracking, electronic proof of delivery (ePOD) and fleet<\/span> management makes LogiNext a complete logistics management software solution.<\/span> The increase in operations efficiency has helped clients reduce overall logistics cost<\/span> by up to 20%.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

5)\u00a0Become\u00a0relevant for the high-tech age\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"Relevance<\/p>\n

When it comes to relevance, the goal is to evaluate the competitiveness of postal<\/span> services, in particular the potential to generate higher volumes. A nation with a<\/span> denser network and higher level of postal consumption per capita will show better<\/span> performance here.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s indulge in a little bit of trivia here with a list of countries having the maximum<\/span> number of post offices (note: it doesn\u2019t give a sense of postal network density)-<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

1) <\/span>India Post<\/span><\/span><\/a>: India\u2019s postal network is the largest in the world with more than<\/span> 150,000 post offices spread across the country. 90% of the offices are<\/span> situated in rural areas.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

2) <\/span>China Post<\/span><\/a><\/span>: There are differing numbers here. One estimate suggests that the<\/span> China Government\u2019s postal network stands at around 60,000 offices and<\/span> another figure suggests 200,000 (<\/span>BBC report<\/span><\/a><\/span>).<\/span><\/p>\n

3) <\/span>Pos Indonesia<\/span><\/span>: For a small country in terms of size, Indonesia comes at a<\/span> surprising number 3 according to our research with about 58,700 post<\/span> offices.<\/span><\/p>\n

4) <\/span>Russian Post<\/span>: The Russian Post is headquartered in Moscow and has over<\/span> 42,000 post offices employing around 400,000 people.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

5) <\/span>United States Postal Service<\/span><\/a>: The USPS has about 31,000 post offices<\/span> employing around 600,000 people. It delivers 149.5 billion pieces of mail<\/span> annually (<\/span>2017 numbers<\/span><\/a><\/span>)<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Universal Postal Union has been coming up with rankings annually since 2017<\/span> and the top 10 players have been continuously improving performance. Adopting<\/span> technology and future planning has been key elements for these postal networks to<\/span> stay ahead of the game. Logistics is undergoing a major digital disruption and for<\/span> postal networks to match up, technology and automation seem like the way<\/span> forward.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
