Declining letter volumes. Outdated infrastructure. Inefficient processes. The postal industry is facing one of the biggest inflection points in its history, and the choice is between modernizing…or fading away. E-commerce has accelerated the importance of this choice. With consumers now trained to expect lightning-fast delivery, traditional postal operations with static forecasts, pre and multiple sorting and rigid shifts struggle to keep up.

A major part of the problem is most postal operations were built to handle letter mailing, yet customer behaviour has completely shifted the landscape. With the rise in e-commerce came a huge influx of parcel shipping; at the same time, letter volume has dropped. The result? A postal industry trying to remain competitive with a system not designed for current demands. Supply Chain Drive partnered with TMX Transform to host a live Q&A between senior executives, discussing the issues facing the postal industry and how to solve them. You’ll learn:

  • The biggest challenges facing the postal industry, including rising costs, outdated infrastructure, siloed systems and customer expectations.
  • Why it’s critical to redesign networks, optimize the last mile and add automation and AI tools to postal operations in order to remain competitive.
  • How to approach these changes the right way to ensure success.
