Today, we’re excited to announce a licensing agreement with New Zealand Post, which has a national exclusive on the use of the Zumbox Platform for Digital Postal Mail. We’re helping New Zealand provide mailers and consumers a quick, easy and cost-effective option for secure digital delivery, management and storage of postal mail.
The transition from paper to digital is inevitable, and nowhere is this more apparent than in the delivery of mail. A recent report issued by the Government Accountability Office last year backs this up, highlighting that the delivery of first-class mail has declined 19 percent since 2001 and will continue to sink by 37 percent over the next decade.
As postal services around the world begin transitioning to digital delivery, today’s announcement validates Zumbox as the digital mail technology provider leading the seachange of how consumers interact with their mail. Sohail Choudhry, GM Integrated Communications of New Zealand Post, had this to say about the agreement:
“As customer preferences change with technological advancements, New Zealand Post is committed to a future that meets our customers’ mailing needs both physically and digitally. We have identified a clear interest – both among consumers and businesses – in a digital postal system here in New Zealand, and we are eager to test this service on the Zumbox Platform.”
