Advanced Capabilities

The APMS integrates Esri ArcGIS spatial systems with a relational address database. This allows post offices to store all addresses in a centralized location, manage postal rounds, and automatically produce labels for postal sorting frames (RM2000’s). The system applies color coding and specialized algorithms to ensure maximum efficiency in labeling.

Additionally, APMS offers a suite of powerful modules for various operational needs:

APMS Features:

  • OCR Export: Exports rounds in walk order via CSV for OCR processing.
  • CRM Export: Provides address details in CSV format.
  • Postcode Finder: Exports address details based on postcode searches.
  • Parcel Routes: Enables round sorting and creation, address viewing, and identification of delivery points.
  • Secure Drop: Manages safety hazards, access codes, and GPS coordinates for secure parcel drop locations. Includes an audit trail.
  • Batch Sortplan Setup: Facilitates the creation of batch plans for LSM sorting layouts.
  • Delivery Management: Supports address search, creation, and sorting. Also handles frame labeling, audit trails, name changes, round management, frame optimization, resequencing deliveries, and PO Box management.

System Integration:

  • Mapping: Uses Esri ArcGIS desktop to plot delivery routes and points.
  • Routesmart Integration: Provides import/export functionality to integrate delivery data with mapping systems using X, Y coordinates.
