Report Description:
The U.S. Postal Service is working to leverage technology to improve visibility and tracking of mail and packages in near real time for the Postal Service, its customers, and mailers. As it moves through the surface transportation network, mail and packages are assigned to a container equipped with barcodes. Surface Visibility provides real-time scanning of barcodes and reports mail movement from origin to final destination allowing the Postal Service to measure its performance. Oversight of scanning processes performed by logistics and processing employees helps ensure all scans are performed accurately. Scanning accuracy is critical to achieving real-time visibility and providing the Postal Service with a competitive market advantage and long-term stability within the mailing industry.
