Brief Description
As per the orders of
Directorate to have an end to end
tracking facility for Parcel category items , a new software viz., ParcelNet
has been developed. This ParcelNet application is used in Parcel
Hubs/Express Parcel Hubs along with a new ParcelNet Communication
Software. All the operations of Parcels
in Post offices have been integrated with Meghdoot modules such as Point of
Sale, Despatch and Postman modules.
Further, Department is going to launch two new Parcel Services
viz., Business Parcel and Express
Parcel w.e.f. 02.12.2013. In these new
Parcel products, BNPL and COD facilities
have been allowed for registered Bulk customers. Therefore, the ParcelNet application at RMS
level & all the related Meghdoot modules at Post Office level, have been
modified to incorporate the booking/transmission/ delivery/payment of these new
parcel products. The Standard Operating Procedure and
Accounting Procedure for these two new parcel products, released by
Directorate prescribe the operational
and accounting flow
Therefore, consequent on implementation of ParcelNet update,
electronic flow of data and end to end tracking will be available in respect of
the following parcel products:
a) Registered
Parcels
b) Express
Parcels (new service to be launched on 02.12.2013)
c) Business
Parcels (new service to be launched on 02.12.2013)
With the upgradation of ParcelNet update, the existing Express Parcel Post (EPP) (which
is being transmitted through SpeedNet network) service cease to exist. All the existing EPP Centres, which are
converted into Parcel Booking Centres have to install the software (as mentioned
below) .
Barcode is made mandatory for all Registered/Business/Express Parcels
both at article level and Bag Level. The
Barcodes prescribed by Directorate for this purpose only have to be used for
booking.
