Mobile option
The Mobile option provides you with more ways of processing your incoming mail and for your internal delivery. This enables you to register the signatures and names of the internal recipients. Additional remarks with a smartphone or tablet will turn your internal post office into a modern, professional paperless organization guaranteeing a high level of quality: from the receipt of mail items and delivery tracking with electronic signature through to the archiving of consignment data.
The “Receive consignments (SSEB)” web application links the basic service (web application) with the Mobile option. With this application, you can synchronize data registered for incoming letter and parcel consignments with barcode with your mobile device. The app displays the existing consignment data which you can change or add to if necessary. The main feature is the electronic registration of the recipient’s signature. This facilitates mobile consignment distribution irrespective of location, clearly simplifying the internal delivery service. You can set the “Mark notification” status using your mobile device. If the consignment cannot be delivered to the intended recipient immediately, the corresponding person (or their organizational unit) will be notified by e-mail that the consignment is ready for collection (→ Basic service).
The synchronization automatically triggers the transfer of all data saved to the mobile device back to the “Receive consignments” online service.
