Split up of TNT

On 25 May 2011 the General Meeting of Shareholders of TNT N.V. approved the split of TNT into a mail company, PostNL, and an express company, TNT Express. As a result the corporate website of TNT, group.tnt.com, has been suspended.

Our Brand

From now on, TNT Post will be known as PostNL. A Dutch name for a company with boundless ambition.

In the British postal market, for instance, where our market share has grown to over 20%.

How does this international growth fit in with our domestic activities? As the clear market leader in the Netherlands we deliver billions of mail items each year. That’s an awful lot for Dutch standards. Yet we now deliver more mail abroad, and our market share there is growing.

Calling PostNL a typically Dutch player therefore doesn’t really do us justice. Then again, perhaps it is indeed typically Dutch to do business beyond borders.

Tomorrow starts today. PostNL.

• With digital applications playing an ever bigger role in our daily lives, consumers today have more freedom in sending and receiving than ever before. Although the possibilities are endless, many people simply don’t know about them. This calls for a resourceful and reliable company that knows how to connect people.
• That company is PostNL. We specialise in bringing people closer together with our high-quality, highly developed delivery and retail network,. And by combining this with digital applications in a clever way, we can offer our customers solutions that really add value.
• In short, PostNL fills the gap that separates sender from receiver. With our help, customers are able to make the most of opportunities in mail, parcels and e-commerce.

The Challenge

2006: TPG NL provided an outdated shipping system to its customers. The old solution has to be replaced by a modern and future oriented customer automation solution. More flexibility and the orientation at developing parcel markets for the B2C business have been the challenges. These had to be combined with requirements regarding high integration into customers‘ environments and the back-end of TPG.

Our Role and Solution

XLogics won the competition between many potential IT-vendors and got the order by TPG to provide a Desktop Solution and a Web Solution. Parcelware was born, based on the existing modern Microsoft.Net standard solutions of XLogics. Our software engineers extended the standard solution by many useful functionalities and features requested by TPG customers. The Microsoft.Net based application, developed in C# was launched the first time in 2003 under the brand XPack and EasyPAK.
 

Finally, one of the most convenient and reliable solutions revolutionized the West European logistics market. 
  

The Result

XLogics became a preferred partner for all shipping services.  

The XLogics Team is continuously standing behind the logistics provider. We are responsible for the technical progress, further developments and the 3rd level support. Further business services and logistics applications for external and internal purposes have been developed for that customer.

One of the youngest solutions is an online shipping plattform for private customers.

Statements by the Customer

Austrian Post is the leading provider of mail shipping services in Austria. Austrian Post's main business activities include mail and parcel shipping services as well as the provision of financial services in cooperation with its partner of many years, BAWAG P.S.K. The business area "Postbus Services" ("Postautodienst") was retroactively spun off on January 1, 2000.

Business areas "Mail", "Branch Network", "Kurier.Express.Paket (KEP) and "Media Post" were restructured to meet market demands and have been consolidated into the "Mail", "Parcel & Logistics" and "Branch Network" Divisions.

The Challenge

2003: Automation became an important role by the change of the parcel operation at Post.at. The austrian market leader had to face more challenges in the European logistics market. Because of the further development of barcode systems and EDI exchange, as well as the request of the customers to be provided with a shipping software, the need of a future-oriented shipping solution grew.

Our Role and Solution

XLogics developed future oriented concepts for integrating customer needs and requirements of the logistics provider. Two applications were born, based on one technical kernel. EasyPAK Online and EasyPAK Desktop have been placed in the logistics market. At that time the modern Microsoft.Net Technology was brand new. XLogics and Post.at worked on the biggest MS.Net project in Europe. EasyPAK was also based on the well-known XPack Software.

We made a co-branding and published the brand EasyPAK. We provided the customer with consulting and software engineering services.  

The Result

More than 3.000 solutions have been installed in the Austrian and South-East European markets by Austrian Post and XLogics.

The XLogics Team is continuously standing behind the logistics provider. We are responsible for the technical progress, further developments and the 3rd level support.

Post.at and XLogics are currently discussing new possibilities to keep the market leadership in solutions' support.

NETRADA bietet seinen Kunden weltweit führende E-Commerce-Lösungen für Fashion und Lifestyle. Für Top-Brands der Mode- und Lifestyle-Welt betreibt NETRADA ganzheitlich die Online-Shops in Europa und den USA.

NETRADA ist eine Tochtergesellschaft der D+S AG. Der Konzern ist mit ca. 7.000 Mitarbeitern führender Lösungsanbieter für E-Commerce- und Kundenkontakt-Management.

Gerade in Spitzenzeiten kommt es darauf an, dass im Bereich der Distribution leistungfähige und performante IT-Systeme in einer stabilen technologischen Umgebung ihre Aufgaben zuverlässig erledigen.

Seit 2004 werden im Bereich der Distributionslogistik die Logistikanwendungen der XLogics Group eingesetzt. Das XLogics Shipping Center ist für die Aufbereitung der Sendungen mittels Versandlabel für unterschiedliche Logistikprovider für die weltweite Distribution verantwortlich. Die Anwendung, bestehend aus XPack Black Box und XTrace die auf der Microsoft.Net Technologie basiert, fügt sich mit ihrer Plattformunabhängigkeit in die von NETRADA entwickelte e-commerce Umgebung nahtlos ein.

Eine hohe Flexibilität und Skalierbarkeit, gepaart mit der zukunftsfähigen und immer erweiterbaren Programmsprache, sind für das Unternehmen die Entscheidungskriterien zur Nutzung des XLogics Shipping Centers gewesen und bestätigen, dass die Zusammenarbeit mit der XLogics Group in logistischen Fragen eine gute Entscheidung war.

Mit der Leistungsfähigkeit von bis zu 350 Versandaufträgen pro Minute bleibt noch jede Menge Zeit für die Versandaufbereitung. In dem Versandprozess wird beim Warenausgang nicht nur das Versandlabel für die Versendung mit DHL, Hermes, TNT Post, Österreichischer Post, Bring Parcel, La Poste oder Schweizerischer Post, sowie Kiala vorgenommen, sondern hier werden in einem Druckvorgang auf Hochleistungslaserdruckern integrierte DIN A3 Formate mit Rechnung und Retourenschein, sowie Retourenlabel erzeugt. “Möglich wird die Vereinigung der Daten in einem integrierten Formular durch den Einsatz des Moduls Form Designer, das für den Nutzer der Logistikanwendung die vollständig freie Gestaltungsmöglichkeit des Formularwesens ermöglichen”, so Michael Bitzer, IT-Consultant der Firma NETRADA. Die Ansteuerung des XLogics Shipping Centers vom hauseigenen und eigenentwickelten ERP-Sytem der Firma NETRADA erfolgt mittels XML Web Services.

Für beide Seiten, NETRADA und XLogics, stellt sich die seit 2004 währende Zusammenarbeit als eine fruchtbare und zukunftsorientierte Partnerschaft dar.

Ich danke an dieser Stelle der NETRADA Gruppe für die währende Bereitschaft als Referenz zu fungieren und freue mich auf weitere, sicher ebenfalls erfolgreiche Projekte und Themen.
