Intermec VERDEX Streamlines Parcel Collection

VERDEX is the industry's first mobile version of proven address extraction and verification technology used in postal sortation operations. VERDEX provides this capability at the most effective point possible: at the point of parcel collection. This video shows a side-by-side comparison, demonstrating that VERDEX is significantly faster than paper-based and key-based entry.

VERDEX provides this capability at the most effective point possible: at the point of parcel collection. Each year the courier, express and parcel (CEP) industry deals with millions of items arriving at their sortation facilities unannounced and with unverified addresses, many of which ultimately become "Undeliverable as Addressed" (UAA), creating billions of dollars in unnecessary expenses. VERDEX is a software component, exclusively available on Intermec mobile computers, that fully integrates all of the technologies necessary to deliver verified address data to a mobile application. VERDEX is designed for CEP organizations that want to reduce the volume and associated costs of undeliverable items by correcting errors before they enter their system or arrive at the sortation hub. Prevent the Problem Before it Occurs VERDEX is used at the point of collection to help eliminate UAA parcels and provide planners with early visibility to previously unannounced and unverified items. When combined with an Intermec mobile computer and mobile label printer, VERDEX allows parcel collection workers to quickly and accurately introduce parcels into the track-and-trace system and re-label them at the time of collection. VERDEX is built on industry-proven technology that is currently used in high speed postal and parcel organizations around the world, but has been optimized to run on Intermec mobile computers. At the press of a single button, VERDEX combines enhanced data extraction algorithms with proprietary SmartMatch™ technology to automate entry and verification of machine printed, human readable text up to 300% faster than key based entry. This significantly improves efficiency and reduces errors that are caused by manual keying of address information. Eliminate Errors and Gain Visibility With only a few hours between the parcel collection and the sorting process, there is little time to manually enter unannounced and unverified items into the track-and- trace system with much, if any, advance notice for downstream process workers. When VERDEX is used at the point of collection, logistics planners are able to optimize downstream operations allowing the CEP organization to better utilize its assets for sorting, routing and transporting of parcels. Easy Integration VERDEX can be used in a variety of development environments and is supplied with documentation, and detailed sample programs that allow software developers to quickly integrate VERDEX capabilities into their line-of-business applications. Commercial and custom database development and support are provided by Intermec technology partners. Organizations that do not have access to a postal address database may select from a variety of commercially available databases. Alternatively, Intermec technology partners can help you build, optimize, deploy and maintain a specific solution based on the CEP organization's own delivery address databases.
