“Pitney Bowes is proud to partner with the Croatian Post to
deliver world-class sortation solutions that will provide the
efficiency and accuracy required to expand their operations and
deliver greater value to their customers,” said Grant Miller,
President of Pitney Bowes Document Messaging Technologies. “The new
operating centers in Zagreb and Split are excellent examples of
technology and innovation at work. Both centers are able to sort
postal items at an astonishing speed, but even more importantly,
they are able to ensure the accuracy and integrity of each
piece.”
Both processing centers feature the Pitney Bowes Vantage™ Sorter
with Pitney Bowes’ Business Logic Processing (BLP) software and CEN
Interface. In addition, the main sorting center in Zagreb
integrates the Pitney Bowes VariSort™ Mixed Mail Sorter to process
mail, flats and small parcels. These integrated systems, which
leverage the latest Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology
for increased read rates based on Croatian post formats and
characters, provide exceptional accuracy, document integrity and
security at a rate of 230,000 items per hour, and have transformed
the Croatian Post into the premium sortation hub for in-country and
out-of-country postal providers.
“We are very satisfied with the level of service and have
established a very good partnership with Pitney Bowes,” said
Croatian Post CEO Ivan Culo. “We were looking for the best sorting
solution available to replace our existing systems, which we could
no longer operate and maintain with the sufficient level of
security. Pitney Bowes has extensive experience and knowledge of
postal business in general and all aspects of mail sorting, which
has proved very valuable to us. Our new sorting systems are quicker
and more reliable and help ensure timely delivery even during our
peak loads of 2.5 million mail items a day. This new technology
will enable us to be more efficient, while ensuring document
integrity and security. I look forward to future cooperation with
Pitney Bowes.”
The Vantage Sorting Solution combines speed, intelligence and
endurance for the highest overall operational throughput and
integrity in the industry, while capturing valuable mailpiece
information. Pitney Bowes’ VariSort Mixed Mail Sorter efficiently
processes a wide range of flat mail - from clean to complex, bound
printed matter such as magazines and catalogues, small parcels,
poly wrap and even misshapen pieces. The backbone of the system is
the Pitney Bowes Business Logic Processing software, which provides
access to a real-time processing data stream for tracking,
reporting and auditing.
“This is the first phase of our partnership with the Croatian
Post, and we look forward to working together to further support
their growing parcel volumes,” added Miller.
