In the post, mail, and shipping industry, accurate weighing is critical for correct billing. Customers need to know they are paying for the exact weight of their shipments, and businesses need to ensure they are not under or overcharging. Postal scales and systems from Avery Weigh-Tronix can help postal and delivery companies accurately charge by weight and seamlessly integrate weight data into back-office systems.
Overview
In the US, the mailing industry is worth approximately $1.6 trillion and employs more than 7.3 million people. In such a huge industry, revenue generation and operational efficiency are key.
As the volume of letters decreases in favour of e-mail, e-commerce is driving an uplift in the number of parcels and packages being shipped. As a result, the postal industry is under pressure to remain competitive – an issue compounded by increased customer expectations and high fuel costs.
Our range of in-motion weighing solutions for smaller and lighter mail items includes highly accurate and durable postal scales and vehicle weighing. For larger parcels and ugly freight, our forklift truck scales, vehicle weighing, and robust floor scales are perfect for efficient and accurate weighing in your fast-paced operation. Each of our smart solutions has the connectivity to integrate seamlessly into your existing software systems.
Our range of retail counter scales can be found in post offices all over the world. Featuring worldwide regulatory approval, they facilitate streamlined purchasing and standardization of technology.
The ZP900 digital postal scale has been specifically designed for the industry, featuring a small footprint for countertop use, the scale offers superior accuracy, speed and flexible integration into third-party systems (shipping, packing and ECR/POS). For back-office mail industry operations, Avery Weigh-Tronix has a range of weighing scales and systems to enhance efficiency and protect revenues.
When handling and shipping goods, weight data is often a key requirement on the shipping paperwork and customs declarations. Knowing the weight of packages helps logistics companies to maximize vehicle loads, while ensuring that trucks, planes, and ships are not overloaded. While truck scales will often be used to weigh full truck loads to avoid overloading, individual parcel weights will usually be determined by using bench or deck scales.
Sorting facilities often use bench scales to weigh packages and direct packages to the appropriate bins and conveyors for their destination. Our conveyor scales can be used to weigh packages in motion, as part of an automated process.
