The solution, which is based on eMatrix software, will make it easier to configure services for customer specific demands. The technology has been used within the industry for some time, but for the service sector, it is a new approach.
Sweden Post is a service provider to 500 000 companies, which generates 94% of Sweden Post's revenue. These companies are asking for more and more "one stop shop" solutions, where services from Sweden Post and other suppliers are included. Technia's solution, based on eMatrix, helps Sweden Post to rapidly create, configure and deliver solutions to every customer's specific demands. All of Sweden Post's services are undergoing a careful packaging into components, where all included parts are defined. This enables Sweden Post to rapidly combine them into various combinations in accordance to the customers needs. The tool makes it possible to easily include services from other co-operating companies.
- It becomes increasingly common practice that companies from different industries (branches) work together and create general solutions. Sweden Post will be the leader when we co-operate with companies and organizations within virtual networks. We have glanced at traditional industries and have taken advantage of their long experience of creating customer unique products based on well-defined components. Technia has proven that experience from industry sector can even be adapted to the service sector, says Claes Ankarcrona, Project Manager at Sweden Post.
- The choice of eMatrix and Technia AB as the solutions provider for Sweden Post's future eBusiness solution of turning services into components has been foregone an intensive evaluation. The order represents in the first phase a value of 1.2 million USD, which includes apart from eMatrix software implementation and development services.
- We are very pleased that Sweden Post has chosen Technia and eMatrix as their eBusiness solution, and this confidence is demanding a lot from us as a solution provider in the upcoming co-operation. I am convinced that in the future we will see more and more companies within the service sector that take advantage of the industries experience in this area, says Staffan Hanstorp, Managing Director, Technia AB.
