September 2009: Ascent Software's Swift Postal launches Swift Kiosk
Swift Postal, Ascent Software's suite of solutions for the automation of key postal organisational departments, has recently announced the launch of Swift Kiosk. The self-service kiosk allows postal organisations to offer their services to customers from a variety of locations - with 24/7 availability.
Swift Kiosk's intuitive touch-screen is designed to offer an extensive number of products and services in different languages. Weighing and postal functions, payments of bills and traffic fines, mobile top-ups and foreign exchange services, mean that customers no longer need to stand in queues to get served. The kiosk weighing scales can handle packages of up to 30kg and a secure postbox gives customers the convenience of posting their items after weighing and attaching the relevant postage labels supplied by the kiosk. The new product in the Swift Postal suite is offered with both software and hardware. It complements an exciting range of software solutions aimed at customer communication channels such as retail, foreign exchange, PO Box management, customer portal, philately and others. All data from the various channels are centralised into one unified management platform giving real-time control of user maintenance, stock control, pricing, rates and service details and also ensuring unified reporting across all departments. "The launch of Swift Kiosk shows our commitment to delivering new products to our clients," said Joseph Sultana, managing director of Ascent Software. "By employing a broader vision, we aim to continue delivering solutions that address the priority requirements of our postal customers and that integrate into one single platform to ensure tight coordination of the postal organisations's entire operation from head office." Swift Kiosk will be making its official debut at the Post Expo 2009 trade event in Hannover.
