Read MoreLa Poste expands self-service kiosk network
Pitney Bowes announced that it has signed a contract to provide 50 stand-alone postal kiosks to La Poste, so that La Poste can enhance its retail network in large urban areas.
The contract is one of the largest Pitney Bowes has ever signed for postal kiosks, and includes the design, installation and servicing of postal kiosks that will be located in post offices in some of France’s largest cities, beginning in 2009.
The Pitney Bowes kiosks allow postal customers to perform a wide range of tasks, including weighing a mailpiece or a parcel, ordering special postal services such as insurance, and printing and applying the correct postage or transport label, including a barcode for tracking. By allowing many customers to handle these tasks on their own, the kiosks permit postal retail counter employees to focus their attention on those customers who have special or hard-to-meet needs more efficiently.
Many kiosks provide services during hours when the regular post office is closed, thereby enhancing public access to the national postal network.
