Key Findings & Highlights:
There has been a distinct change in emphasis in Swiss Post Solutions in the last few years. Investments have been focused on technologies in what SPS calls ‘Intelligent Automation’ (IA), namely extending SPS’ existing technology capabilities in document processing, in areas such as scanning, OCR, data capture and extraction, with newer RPA and cognitive tools.
The application of IA technologies has also helped SPS expand its portfolio from document processing to go further into client workflows for processes such as invoice processing, customer onboarding and management, as well as claims automation. As such, SPS is increasingly positioning on its capabilities to support clients in the digital transformation of their physical and electronic document processing and workflow execution activities.
Reflecting both this core positioning around the application of IA and digital transformation and a focus on targeting key accounts, SPS has secured some sizeable contracts around document input processing and digital mailroom services.
