early: testing the future
Products and services in development

Anchor Navigation

Swiss Post gives products and services in the development phase the early Label and tests them with interested customers. They actively help design these new products/services with their feedback.

What is the early Label?

  • New Swiss Post products and services are given the early Label and can be tested by interested customers even from the early stages of development. This customer feedback supports development processes which satisfy the needs of the market and customers.
  • Customer contact and support are provided directly by the development teams for the products and services with the early Label. This guarantees an intensive exchange of ideas with customers.
  • The availability of early services and products may be linked to special conditions, e.g. technical requirements, depending on their level of development.
  • All products and services featuring the early Label meet the basic requirements in terms of security, data protection and quality.

Below you can find an overview of our current early products and services.

Automatic voice recognition and recording in the Swiss Post Contact Center

In future, a voice and intent recognition system will be used in the Swiss Post Contact Center. This means we can save you having to switch between the telephone receiver and the telephone keyboard. This will help you to classify your query more effectively and will connect you directly with the right employee.

“My supporting documents” up-to-date, verified, digital

“My supporting documents” is a Swiss Post service that allows you as a business customer to issue, revoke and verify official documents such as official certificates, confirmations or certificates via an automated process.

Your customers, on the other hand, can easily manage their receipts in an app provided free of charge by Swiss Post. Official documents can be ordered via smartphone or submitted with just one click.

Offers for movers
New: in digital form

TV, Internet, a home office set-up, decoration, etc.: after a move, there is always a long list of new items to be bought and purchase decisions to be made. That’s why discounts and offers are particularly valuable at this time. New residents who notify Swiss Post of their change of address benefit from the “welcome post” service – including a booklet of vouchers containing interesting offers. Swiss Post is currently testing an online platform that makes additional offers available in digital form.

Pay expenses online in advance
Receive parcels from abroad even when you’re not at home

Orders from abroad may incur expenses for customs and VAT, which need to be paid upon delivery. Swiss Post is testing a convenient solution using advance online payment. This means collection notes are no longer needed if the recipient is absent or wishes to pay in cash.

Service on Demand
Facility management at the touch of a button

The “Service on Demand” service from Post Real Estate ensures facility management is targeted at where it is needed most. This means scheduled trips to crockery counters, file containers, vending machines, printers etc. are a thing of the past. At the press of a button, a notification is sent to facility management with the location and type of service currently needed.

Test Autonomous self-service area
The self-operated 24/7 access points

A field test is being carried out at Place de la Gare 10 in 1003 Lausanne to determine whether the Swiss population will also accept a purely self-service solution in the postal sector. The access point is open 24/7 and is equipped with the self-service solutions available from Swiss Post.

Transporting goods with indoor robots and autonomous vehicles

Autonomous delivery vehicles are ecological, available around the clock and can be used for a wide range of purposes. Swiss Post wants to find out the areas in which they offer benefits.
