Whistl (formerly TNT Post UK Ltd.) is the Royal Mail’s number one challenger for business mail of all kinds. It is recognized as one of the most efficient postal operators in the world. They provide a high quality, full service concept for all business mail and distribution needs. In a short period of 8 years, WHISTL has scaled its operations to delivers over four billion post and packets items per year in the UK.
The rapid growth of business has resulted in an unstructured growth of business processes and IT systems. In realising its highly ambitious growth plan of becoming number 1 postal delivery company in UK, WHISTL faced a number of key issues:
ION IT was engaged to deliver two enterprise level solutions.
BI Data Warehouse
Operations required consolidated information on all aspects of the business – customers, collections, deliveries, performance, billings, complaints, delivery partners. This has resulted in establishing ‘single version of truth’ for operation information. It has also made information ‘actionable’ by making it available to key decision makers quickly and easily in a secure manner.
