Neopost India to supply franking machines
Neopost India has agreed a partnership with India Post to sell digital franking machines to the country’s mass mailers. The move will allow many Indian businesses to improve efficiency and save time whilst going about day-to-day activities.
Neopost India CEO Sanjeev Sharma told PTI: “Our partnership allows us to sell ‘DigifrankPlus machines’ in the country to corporates and small and medium businesses, while the same machines will be contracted to government bodies through the Directorate General of Supplies and Disposals.”
According to Sharma, machine capacity spans from 1,200 to 15,000 mailing items per hour.
Sharma continued: “India Post, in December 2009, had granted approval to Neopost range of new digital franking machines using Remotely Managed Franking System (RMFS). Earlier, Electronic Franking Machines were used and the deadline set for replacing such machines is June 30, 2013.”
“Earlier, the machines had to be taken to the post offices where some official would open it and manually put in the value of franking that was purchased. Now the payment can be done online and the machine is automatically updated,” Sharma added.
Customers will be allowed to pay for the postage online.
