Out in the field, around 7000 MC75s will allow for accurate proof of package collection and delivery for postal workers, whilst removing the need for paper-based records. The MC75s also supply realtime data on times, locations and routes of postal workers, which allows for greater understanding and so more efficient planning of delivery routes and cycles. The introduction of the units will see faster and easier real-time access to data in back-office systems, reducing delivery errors.
In the sorting office, WLAN is being used to help sort parcels, with faster processing of information possible over the network by staff both in the sorting office, and during and after delivery. New employees will train using the new computerised processes.
RFID technology, whilst not fully rolled out in Spain, is used as a quality of service test, to enable full tracking of selected parcels for measurement purposes.
