The “New Network” Project
35-40% Level of mechanization
OPERATIONAL PROCEDUREScreation of peculiar competences in the sorting centers in order to support the new technologies and changes in progress in postal environment
QUALITY OF INCOMING MAILimprovement of mail mechanization both to “Large Mailers” and to retail customers
SORTING MACHINES AND IT PLATFORMmechanized systems acquisition, integrated development of IT platform to support new products/services
The focal points of technological modernization
Separation of Machine from IT Environment in order to open the market to an increasing number of suppliers
Insourcing of the specific activities previously done by suppliers (increasing know-how in Poste)
Design & planning of ICT platform to support the production and development on module base
Direct suppliers management during all phases of production project realization
Supplying strategical selection
The above issues have been possible:
Following the changes required by the market and by development of mail process
Assuring the continuity of the production in the sorting centers

SAC Project
System to Automate Mail ProcessesObjectives
Provide management with tools for planning and supervising production activities
Support the mail business
New added value services
Develop an open, standard (market) platform, outside of proprietary solutions, compatible with business standards, integrating various applications/functions already existing in the Chief Operating Office.
Make the infrastructure accessible to Large Mailers, that can settle out accounting, transmit pre-advising of mailings and receive feedbacks from production (i.e. tracking, quality of service)
The primary purpose is to provide mail center managers with the necessary support to integrate the mail processing on the whole logistic planning
