Last year, Isle of Man Post Office signed a landmark contract with Swiss Post to launch ePostbox - a product that introduces a new way for customers to receive their mail.
Customers subscribing to ePostbox have, for the first time, been given total control over each piece of mail they receive wherever they are in the world. Customers are able to fully access and manage their physical post using their smart phone, PC and once an account has been set up, also via an iPhone App.
The customer is alerted each time a new piece of mail has been received at their ePostbox address and is able to view a scanned image of the front and back of each envelope. They then make a decision on whether to open and scan, securely destroy, forward to an address of their choice anywhere in the world or archive the contents electronically.
Lisa Duckworth, commercial director of Isle of Man Post Office, commented: “This is a very exciting time for the future of Isle of Man Post Office as we launch our first digital mail product worldwide. Electronic mailboxes are the future and will go from being a niche product to a service for the wider public - this is the first stepping stone towards achieving that. It is an important time for the future of our postal industry. Swiss Post has extensive knowledge in the delivery of electronic mail and is widely recognised as one of the most innovative postal administrations in Europe and we are delighted to be working with them.”
Over the last 12 months, Isle of Man Post Office has developed a great reputation for delivering a full solution of direct mail services to the gaming industry through its integrated mailing solutions department.
