Postea Teams with NCR to Deliver the 21st-Century Post Office
FAIRFAX, Va. --(Business Wire)--
Postea Inc., a technology provider for the postal, mailing and logistics
industry, announced today that it has signed an agreement to partner
with NCR Corporation to jointly market the next generation point-of-sale
system for international post offices and their alternate access
channels such as agencies, grocery stores or self-service kiosks.
Reflex Retail™, Postea's innovative approach to postal retail sales
replaces prior generations of technology typically developed before the
internet existed and requiring expensive, difficult to deploy PC
hardware. Reflex engages the customer and leverages social networks to
deliver higher revenue per customer session and ease the burden of
complying with government mandated documentation.
Reflex turns every customer session into an opportunity to link the post
office into the customer's on-line world extending a single transaction
into an ongoing electronic relationship.
Michael J. Murphy, CEO of Postea, commented that "Today's customer is
immersed in a world of tablets, smartphones, and social networking.
Through our partnership with NCR we allow the postal authority to 'like'
the Facebook (News - Alert) generation. NCR's Advanced Post technology combined with
Posea's Reflex technology delivers the most compelling solution
available. NCR's worldwide reach allows delivery and localization to any
jurisdiction."
Stan Ratcliffe, President of NCR Government Systems LLC, commented,
"Postea's unrivaled international postal experience combined with NCR's
128 years of experience delivering retail POS technology provides the
most comprehensive set of products and services available, anywhere a
post office customer happens to be." NCR has provided the retail
point-of-sale system to the United States Postal Service since 1997.
Omar Dajani, CEO of IGI, and launch customer for the Postea / NCR
solution added "This solution is the only technology available that
allows IGI to deliver a post PC era solution while continuing to support
legacy technologies. This allows our customers to catch up with the
Facebook generation without incurring prohibitive capital costs." IGI
supplies retail technology to the USPS (News - Alert), Singapore Post, and others.
