New PUDO Solution helps postal operators expand their reach

Escher, the company transforming postal and courier markets, has launched a new Pick Up Drop Off (PUDO) solution aimed at postal operators.

Riposte PUDO enables Postal Operators to quickly expand their reach, availability and access to customers through third-party outlets, agent networks or franchisees. It also provides Posts with a cost effective solution to automate and integrate transaction processes as well as minimise hardware investment.

Commenting on the new product, Nick Manolis, CEO Escher Group said: “90% of respondents to Escher’s 2019 Future of Posts report believe that their success over the next five years will be tied to parcels. The reality is postal operators need to transform in order to take advantage of the incredible opportunity that parcels offer. Riposte PUDO helps Posts do this, and quickly.”

He added: “One of our clients has a traditional network of more than 12,000 postal outlets, but needed to expand its reach. Using Riposte PUDO, they set up 15,000 PUDO locations – more than doubling their retail footprint in just three months. This solution has the potential to be a game changer for Posts all over the world where parcels are becoming an increasingly important source of income.”
