Post de-regulation offers reseller opportunities

Posted by | Apr 30, 2007 | |

Deregulation of the postal market will see new and traditional players alike scrabbling to implement mobile devices to survive, according to market watchers at Zebra Technologies.

The loss of the Royal Mail‚s monopoly has resulted in a plethora of delivery companies and courier services entering the industry, fighting to stay ahead of the game in a newly-competitive environment. Zebra is predicting that new entrants to the industry will fail in this market within twelve months if they are not properly equipped, due to the new levels of competition.

In the ‘War of the postie’ it is technology that will help new market players to stay competitive – mobile devices will make or break processes including delivery of registered mail, and collecting returned goods,” said Clive Fearn, vertical marketing manager at Zebra. “It represents a big opportunity for businesses to provide tailored systems to all the big players in Europe. There‚s so much pressure to stay ahead of competitors, it is essential companies are properly equipped to work efficiently, and offer as many services as possible.”

In the last twelve months, Zebra has supplied printers to leading postal operators such as Polish, Portuguese and Hellenic post. The company also works with businesses such as TNT and DHL, and with major postal and private operators across EMEA on projects including the mobile post and electronic stamps.

Portuguese postal service hit by strike

Posted by | Dec 4, 2006 | |

Transportation and distribution workers at Portugal’s state-owned mail company CTT have staged a one-day strike today over job security issues, which a union official said would delay mail deliveries.

The postal company said it would give priority to express and registered mail, as well as to the delivery of old-age pension checks and shipments of medicine, during the strike. Post offices were not affected.

The National Union of Mail and Telecommunications Workers called the strike to protest plans by CTT to shift its large-volume customers, who account for 70 pct of the firm’s revenues, to another company called Mailtec.

Union officials argue the measure would put between 300 and 400 jobs at risk.

Postal workers at Portugal’s three main sorting offices staged a weeklong series of stoppages during the last week of November over the same issue.

Postal workers have called a general strike involving all departments for December 27.

CTT employs some 13,000 workers. It handles around six mln items a day.
