AMSTERDAM, Oct. 1, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Escher, the global leader transforming postal operators and couriers, today announced the reimagining of the award winning Riposte platform. Postal Operators can now take advantage of new standard configurable applications to support fast deployment of products and services, at any point of service or channel.
"For the last 20 years, we have been made substantial investments in the Riposte platform in order to meet the needs of our clients and the industry," commented Nick Manolis, CEO Escher Group. "Our latest release is built on our world-class messaging framework, providing a modular architecture and consolidated data centre infrastructure. Enabling out of the box implementation, with a series of Post-specific applications, this solution will deliver business value faster and decrease the cost of implementation for Posts around the world."
Riposte's open architecture ensures Posts are not locked into specific components, services, technical architecture or hardware. The solution easily integrates with existing applications and systems and can quickly expand to enable Posts to pivot and adapt to new services, markets, business models and technologies. Riposte offers unparalleled flexibility, enabling the addition, removal or replacement of components to support evolving needs.
Riposte enables:
- Multiple channels – including counter, kiosk, mobile, PUDO, agency or franchise.
- Variety of services – including parcel, letter, retail, financial, government.
- New modes of engagement – including full service, guided, self-service
- Multiple physical locations – including doorstep, branch, office, PUDO, agency and franchise.
Manolis continued, "In addition to re-platforming Riposte, we are also focused on offering out of the box applications that Posts need to run their business and transform their models. We plan to regularly develop new apps based on consumer needs, Riposte Anti Money Laundering and Riposte eTopUp are already in development. These applications will deliver more value to Posts through compelling customer experiences, ensuring compliant practices and increasing revenue opportunities."
