Royal Mail – Digital tracking rolled out (UK)
As part of its ongoing modernisation plan, Royal Mail is to equip its workforce with mobile devices aimed at improving the accuracy and reliablty of its abilty to track items.
Royal Mail is currently looking for a contractor to manage the servicing and updates required. 130,000 will be in use once the system is up and running.
Similar devices are already being fitted to its fleet of vans, enabling delivery offices to track the progress of its collection and delivery service. Other postal operators are already equipped with scanning devices which cut down on the time involved in writing confirmaton sheets which in turn helps make deliveries and collections more efficient.
