Polish Post Office joins forces with Posten AB to offer hybrid services

This year Poczta Polska (PP), in cooperation with Swedish Posten AB, will introduce a so-called hybrid post service. This will be aimed at insti tutions, which regularly send documents to their customers, such as gas, power distributors and banks. At present these companies print the bills, put them in an envelope and send out to customers on their own. The service would allow them to merely prepare an electronic version of the document and send it to PP. At present the national market of these hybrid services is estimated at 50-60 million documents monthly, but it should rapidly grow due to trends in cost cutting. "In the future we plan to be the market leader for these products thanks to our extensive distribution network," said PP's strategic management director Dominik Czajewski. (Rzeczpospolita, p. B5) M.M.
