The customer landscape consists or operated with only two personals. In operational terms, it is known as ‘Dual handed Post offices’. One person keeps tracks of all the transactions including selling of stamps, speed posts, registered mails as well as keeping ing record of financial transactions. This was because in such remote areas the banks are still not operational so post offices acts like a bank too, which means keeping accounts and maintaining them for auditing purpose. They used to do all the above through ugh ledger books and maintaining registers. That process was not only tedious but also very lengthy. Possibilities like loss, fire, natural calamity and theft of that data cannot be avoided. To make the overall process much faster, robust & keeping data security in mind – The new solution was designed. Another major challenge was the deployment of solution because some locations don’t even have commutation facility (Public Transport) to reach there and implement. Progressive successfully came out of this challenge and ensured that each of 2400+ sites started working without any issues. Another situation which needs to be addressed was to educate/train the existing employees of post and make them familiar with the new solution completely on both software as well as operational part, which Progressive’s engineers did by providing them on-location location training and then evaluating them on different situations. Progressive able to complete this complete implementation in merely ‘Three months’ of time span which include lude the deployment of the complete solution at all 2400+ locations and giving training to users for making it completely operational. Today, all of the Postal sites are fully operational with ease of work and still supported with Progressive as a part of our ‘core values’ of emphasizing more on after sale support and being in touch, lifelong.
