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.”
