The shortlist has been unveiled for this year’s Postal Technology International Awards, championing the latest innovations and technology in the post, parcel and express industries from across the world. Winners will be announced at the sixth annual awards ceremony taking place at POST-EXPO 2014,
in Stockholm, Sweden, on September 23, with companies from across the globe recognised in a number of categories, as the awards continue to set the benchmark for technological advances and innovations in the postal industry.

 Finalists will be chosen by the specialist judging panel, comprising 18 industry decision makers from leading global postal companies including Austrian Post, Royal Mail PostNord and DHL. The industry’s leading players will battle it out for categories, including Supplier of the Year, Service Provider of the Year and – for the first time this year – Business Development Innovation of the Year award.

 The nominations for the 2014 awards opened via Postal Technology International magazine in May 2014, with the final shortlist drawn up today by the expert panel of judges. Hazel King, acting editor of Postal Technology International, said this year’s awards highlight the wealth of technology in the industry:

“The shortlist ranges from digital services to environmental innovations and highlights how progressive the postal industry is. There has been a focus on e-commerce this year, which continues to have a big impact on the sector, and all of the nominees have proven their ability to optimise e-commerce growth opportunities or to address new challenges presented”.
