Sweco chosen as GIT partner for Posten

Sweco chosen as GIT partner for Posten 

Posten, the Swedish Postal Service, is investing ambitiously to develop ways of
using geographical information in its operations and has chosen Sweco as its
partner in this effort, awarding Sweco a contract worth nearly EUR 710,000.


In the future postal operations will be increasingly supported by an advanced
geographic IT environment that is used in everything from marketing and
production to delivery and follow-up. 

“We need a strong partner, and Sweco has shown a genuine interest in building up
Posten's knowledge and use of geographic IT,” according to Posten's project
manager Lennart Widelund. 

“Many organisations are discovering that it is possible to both improve their
performance and realize significant financial gains by structuring and
visualising information with the help of geographic IT. In many cases, the use
of GIT can also create major environmental benefits,” says Eva Nygren, President
of Sweco Sweden

Sweco's tasks will be to develop, implement, manage, maintain and support
Posten's GIT environment. Sweco's geographic IT operations have grown
dramatically in recent years, above all through a number of new and large-scale
contracts for the energy, forestry industry and the public sectors.

GIT functions currently used by Posten include systems/applications for route
planning, visualisation of customer and market analyses, map presentations on
the website posten.se and post code assignment.
