Rich Content Section
With DataTransfer, you use a multifunctional electronic interface with Swiss Post. Data exchange with Swiss Post works for all consignments with a barcode. You can also use the consignment data to update your own database. Secure SFTP connections protect data transfer from unauthorized access. Public administrations have the option of transferring data via sedex (secure data exchange). Another alternative is data exchange via e-mail.
Service and features
DataTransfer for letters
With DataTransfer, you transfer consignment data quickly and effectively for posting letter mail. Once the data has been transferred, Swiss Post provides you with all the relevant dispatch documents via the electronic interface (delivery note and/or dispatch list). Once these documents have been prepared, you have nothing else to do.
You can consult the report data generated every day concerning letter mail with barcode via DataTransfer and incorporate it into your specialist applications.
DataTransfer for parcels
Even when posting parcel consignments, DataTransfer is the quickest and most convenient means of transferring consignment data electronically.
The system completes the address information with the processing and delivery data. For example, you can inform your recipient customers in advance of the processing status of your delivery by SMS or e-mail or order a delivery confirmation for each consignment for yourself.
Various standard reports are available to enable you to carry out your own analysis of the service. This means, for example, you can ascertain when a consignment was delivered or whether, and in which parcel processing phase, any irregularities occurred.
Who is this service for? Preconditions
