“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 BowesVantage™
Sorter with Pitney Bowes’ Business Logic Processing (BLP) software
and CEN Interface. In addition, the main sorting center in Zagreb
integrates the Pitney BowesVariSort™
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.
