Pakistan Post to procure 1,691 mobile sets for postmen to improve service delivery
The devices will be funded through the Universal Postal Union's Quality of Service Fund, according to official documents.
Pakistan Post is procuring 1,691 mobile sets for its postmen as part of an effort to improve service delivery, according to official documents cited by the Associated Press of Pakistan (APP).
The documents, described as being available with Wealth Pakistan, state that the mobile sets will be procured through the Universal Postal Union's Quality of Service Fund (UPU QSF), a mechanism used by the international body to support postal service improvements in member countries.
APP's report did not provide further details on the timeline, cost, or specific criteria for distribution of the mobile sets among postmen. It was also not immediately clear how the devices are expected to enhance service delivery operations.
Pakistan Post, the state-run postal service, has faced longstanding calls for modernization amid competition from private courier services. The procurement of mobile sets through international funding suggests an effort to equip field staff with tools that could support tracking, communication, or other operational functions, though the source did not specify the intended use.
Further details on the procurement process and rollout of the devices were not available in the report.
