Verdex Overview Data capture and validation application

CEP Collection and Delivery Collection and Initial Sort Transport Final Sort and Delivery Verdex is a “first mile” solution. Primary benefits are at induction and initial sorting Verdex downstream benefits include transportation planning and reduction of Undeliverable As Addressed (UAA)

Collection and Induction with VERDEX ENABLED Mobile Computers For items with accurate EDI delivery information. Mobile computer scans the barcode and transmits Tracking ID to the sorting center

Collection and Induction with VERDEX ENABLED Mobile Computers For items with printed delivery address accurately printed delivery address, but no yet inducted in the track and trace system. Verdex extracts and verifies the delivery address and transmits Tracking ID and delivery information to the sorting center.

Collection and Induction with VERDEX ENABLED Mobile Computers For handwritten items, Verdex enabled mobile computer captures an image of the label and transmits Tracking ID along with the image to the sorting center for Video Encoding

VERDEX is a Game Changer … Advanced data collection that enables delivery address Extraction and Verification at the point of collection Advanced data collection that enables delivery address Extraction and Verification at the point of collection Proven OCR and Verification technology used today in high speed parcel sorting. Intermec is first to bring this to mobile computers Proven OCR and Verification technology used today in high speed parcel sorting. Intermec is first to bring this to mobile computers Mobile component and APIs designed for easy intergration into your.NET applications Mobile component and APIs designed for easy intergration into your.NET applications Easy to incorporate into your existing collection and sorting process Easy to incorporate into your existing collection and sorting process

Benefits of Verdex All items collected with an identical process. The differences happen “in the background”. All items collected with an identical process. The differences happen “in the background”. Enables up to 100% of items to have accurate EDI when they arrive at sorting centers Enables up to 100% of items to have accurate EDI when they arrive at sorting centers Enables significant reduction in OCR and Video Encoding at sorting center Enables significant reduction in OCR and Video Encoding at sorting center “Level loads” video encoding because operators can begin coding as soon as item is collected “Level loads” video encoding because operators can begin coding as soon as item is collected Optimize sortation and more accurate dynamic route planning Optimize sortation and more accurate dynamic route planning Help eliminate or identify UAA items before they are collected Help eliminate or identify UAA items before they are collected

Thank you.

Empowering Parcel Delivery Operators Huge Money Saving and Provide Superior Services by: Improving Efficiency of Parcel Induction Reduces labor and equipment costs. Helps reduce manual entry errors Streamlining Sorting and Transportation Potential for nearly 100% of items to be EDI coded when trucks arrive at sorting center. Enables level loading of Video Encoding. Earlier Visibility to help optimize dynamic routing Reduce Operational Costs & Ensure On-Time Delivery VERDEX provides Address Verification at the Point of Collection. Reduces the costs for incorrectly addressed items Improve Service Levels to Customers Real time tracking from the moment of collection

Constraints and Challenges Contraints: Collection needs to be… Fast, Simple, Consistent from item to item Fast, Simple, Consistent from item to item Challenges : Challenges during sorting… Typically only 50 – 80% of items arrive with accurate EDI delivery information Typically only 50 – 80% of items arrive with accurate EDI delivery information Up to 50% require expensive OCR or video encoding Up to 50% require expensive OCR or video encoding 5 – 10% are handwritten or irregular 5 – 10% are handwritten or irregular Many items are undeliverable as address and this needs to be corrected Many items are undeliverable as address and this needs to be corrected Very little time to process unannounced items Very little time to process unannounced items With so many items unannounced, no opportunity to optimize sorting or dynamic routing With so many items unannounced, no opportunity to optimize sorting or dynamic routing Collection and Initial Sort
