Pilot project in Pune City East Division offers reliable mail delivery services by improving online tracking system
Now, tracking letters or documents sent by the post offices will become
easier. The postal department has started the Core System Integration
(CSI) as part of its IT modernisation project. This is the first time in
Pune that regional post offices have been chosen for this initiative.
The postal department has picked the Pune City East Division for the
pilot roll-out. CSI is an integrated system that includes counter
operations, delivery operations, financial activities and human resource
management. The CSI is designed to augment the service delivery
efficiency of the post offices.
Ganesh V Sawaleshwarkar, postmaster general of Pune Region, informed,
“With the implementation of CSI, Pune will have the distinction of
implementing all modules of the IT modernisation project — core banking
solution, core insurance solution, core system integration and rural
information and communications technology. So far, the department would
use different systems for various functions. With CSI, there will be one
system and hence the work will be streamlined. We will be able to
provide better services to the customers.”
Once the documents are sent, a notification will be available to know
when it can be expected to reach the recipient. The sender can also
track the stage of delivery by using the verification code, which will
be generated by the postal office.
Cheering the initiative, Neshrul Ansari (35), a Lohegaon resident, said,
“I received a document on Friday morning, which was sent on Sunday by
my friend based in Nagpur. Nearly five hours later, my friend received a
message on the phone that the package has been delivered. I am very
pleased with the service.”
Delivery boys, who are under constant pressure to transport documents or
other packages on time as well as furnish proof about the same to their
seniors, are heaving a sigh of relief after this development.
Chirag Bhairavkar, who works for Lohegaon Post Office, shared, “Earlier,
we used to put packages in the letter box of the recipient. Sometimes,
if the documents did not reach the correct recipient, then they would
come to the post office and create a ruckus. With the notifications on
phone, the process becomes simpler for all.”
