we are off !, page-65

Nice find Hungry...took some of the main points below...can anybody who lives in Sydney give any indication on how well these trials are going? Having Australia Post as an early adopter, will most 100% certainly be TZ's first BIG CASH COW.

Love the part where it says "these lockers will be available at petrol stations and supermarkets, available for 24 hour access". To think this is ONE product, ONE country. Wonder how the trials in Europe, US are going and when will we launch into ASIA? Gonna be one RIPPER AGM me thinks.


No more parcel queues

QUEUEING at the post office to pick up parcels could soon be a thing of the past thanks to intelligent lockers.

Technology firm TZ Ltd, headed by Australian entrepreneur Mark Bouris, and Pitney Bowes, the global logistics giant, are planning a trial of the hi-tech lockers at locations around Sydney within a month.

They will probably be at petrol stations and supermarkets, allowing access to the lockers all day, every day, bypassing Australia Post's pick-up system.

"We need a hi-tech solution suitable for the 21st century, and secure, convenient, 24-hour-a-day access to our goods is long overdue."

Pitney Bowes is negotiating with potential site owners and is expected to have numerous trials running soon.

"We want to install the lockers at locations that give convenient access for the public, as well as in offices around the country" said the managing director of Pitney Bowes Australia, Tony Simonsen.

Similarly, building groups are considering installing banks of lockers and post boxes at new residential developments
