The scope of Postal Innovation encompasses business, technol- ogy and methodology aspects. It explores the intersections of the physical, virtual and financial do- mains of the postal and express
shipping business to analyze the areas where the highest financial contribution resides: for instance in tracking, remittance services, pen- sion payments at Post Offices and e-commerce payments. Key topics and application areas for discussion and development include identification strategies, advanced express logistics, personal/geo-ref- erencing, quality of service (QOS) as well as interoperability.
ID for change
ID is the change agent for the postal sector as new technolo- gies evolve and disrupt existing processes. Barcode-based legacy systems have proven effective in meeting both the shippers’ and customers’ expectations to be able to track and trace shipments on an almost real-time basis for their global business intelligence and visibility requirements. Nev- ertheless, the global postal and parcel shipping market has long been predicted to be one of the largest potential applications for RFID. However, advanced identi- fication technologies can provide more than just tracking.
Secure identification, authentica- tion and trust is a must in areas such as remittance services and e-commerce areas, which repre- sent the key to improved services and additional revenue opportu- nities for the postal and express shipping sector.
