Gangbuk-gu Introduces Postal Item Electronic Management System

Manage everything at a glance from mail receipt to dispatch, inspection, and delivery... Expected to save about 3 million won in unnecessary return costs

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Gangbuk-gu (Mayor Park Gyeomsu) is set to fully operate an electronic postal management system to enhance the efficiency of postal services.

The electronic postal management system is a scheme that electronically manages the entire process of postal items from receipt, dispatch, inspection, to delivery in coordination with the post office. It has been standardized by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety and distributed to local governments nationwide.

The advantage of this system is that it enables fast and systematic postal management. By automatically inputting basic postal information using a barcode reader, unnecessary time spent on manual preparation for dispatch is reduced.

Statistics such as general mail, bill dispatch records, and return counts can also be extracted. Additionally, the delivery history and results of various postal items can be checked in real time. Previously, it took about a week to check the delivery status of registered mail.

Gangbuk-gu estimates that automating postal services will save about 3 million won in return postage budget. Previously, to avoid returning registered mail, it was necessary to manually mark ‘No need for return (환부)’.

In particular, when requesting bulk dispatches, omissions of this mark often occurred, resulting in unnecessary return costs.

Mayor Park Gyeomsu of Gangbuk-gu said, “This system is expected to prevent unnecessary administrative waste and improve the accuracy and speed of work processing,” adding, “We will use this as a stepping stone to enhance the quality of postal management and build a more trusted civil service.”
