We are looking for a release manager to the project commissioned by the British post, Royal Mail Group. It’s another milestone for our growing relationship with this client (6 years and counting).
The project in question, consists of over 80k rugged handheld mobile devices plus the operating system and applications installed on those devices. In addition, there is currently user administration and reporting capability.
The devices are used to capture barcode scans, as items are progressed through the network. This includes when the item:
- is initially collected,
- is progressed through our network,
- is delivered and handed over to the customer,
The system captured in excess of 1.5m scans per hour over Christmas. On the busiest day, over 15m scans were processed.
In addition to supporting these core operational processes, the device is also used for:
