Various adjustments, improvements and bug fixes
The Post-App provides helpful features and practical information on Swiss Post’s services.
An overview of the functions:
Login: Use the Swiss Post customer login for direct access to online services in the app. The login will remain valid for 1 year for protected devices (PIN, fingerprint, Face ID) and 60 days for unprotected devices.
Push function: The push function provides you with the latest information about Swiss Post as well as personal information about upcoming consignments from “My consignments”.
CODESCANNER – can be accessed via “scan” at the top right:
With the scan function, you can scan the barcodes and QR codes on consignment documents or enter the consignment numbers manually. In addition, several stamps are scannable, allowing access to additional information.
LOCATION SEARCH:
The app determines your location (active GPS) and indicates the nearest branch, Postomats, PickPost points, among other things. The location search remains available even when your GPS is deactivated. Assign favourites and always have their current opening hours and collection times available.
TRACK & TRACE:
You can scan barcodes on letter mail, international consignments and parcels, and QR codes on mailing receipts. The consignment number is then entered automatically in the track & trace overview. To improve the overview, you can add your own text to the numbers of the listed consignments. You can also forward the consignment number.
