Bhandup East PO has been selected as
the first post office in Maharashtra for deploying the Postman Mobile
Application (PMA), which enables the postmen to complete the capturing
of mail delivery data in real time, using their mobile phones.
PMA is an Android based mobile App
designed and developed by the Centre of Excellence in Postal Technology
(CEPT), Mysore. It can be used by Postman and other delivery staff for
delivering various postal articles including cash on delivery. It
enables electronic capturing of delivery data by Postman and is also
capable of obtaining acknowledgement of delivery.
The date, time and location are
captured automatically the moment the article is delivered. This
eliminates possibility of inaccurate capturing of the same during manual
delivery. This also helps India Post to analyse delivery performance in
a more realistic manner and improve transit time KPI.
Customers can track delivery of articles the moment they are delivered.
PMA
supports popular services like Speed Post, Registered Letter,
Registered Parcel, Electronic Money Order, and Cash on Delivery and
delivery of articles to bulk customers.
A training programme for the post master and postmen on PMA was held at Bhandup East post office on 4th June
2016. Prakash Shewale, Senior Superintendent of Post Offices led the
session. The features of PMA were explained to the postmen, which was
followed by a comprehensive demonstration and practical training.
