FOUR local post offices will soon receive FlexiPOS point-of-sale technology to provide customers with a greater range of products and services.
Offices in Witchcliffe, Karridale, Vasse and Yallingup will have banking services on behalf of Australia Post’s 70 agency banking partners, recharge vouchers, prepaid cards, postage assessment and label printing facilities.
The new technology is part of a major investment by Australia Post in its regional and rural network which includes the largest ever annual increase in payments to post office licensees.
Executive general manager of postal services Christine Corbett said Australia Post was focused on creating new revenue streams for post office licensees.
“Despite the challenging retailing conditions of the past four years we have maintained the number of post offices at a consistent level, just over 4, 400 outlets, with more than 2,500 in rural and regional Australia,” Ms Corbett said.
The rollout of FlexiPOS to over 300 licensed post offices commences next month with the majority of post offices receiving the new technology by mid 2015.
