Australia Post is upgrading its tracking software for packages with a new platform built on Google Cloud.
According to
ZDNet, the nationwide mailing service is updating its “event management platform” after the online shopping boom of the last year.
“What we saw in 2020 was that four out of five Australian households so almost nine million households were making an online purchase at some point during the year, and included in that number was more than 1.3 million households that purchased in 2020 that hadn’t bought online in 2019,” Australia Post CIO Munro Farmer said via the outlet.
In an Australia Post report into the eCommerce sales of the last financial year, the company said that there had been a 31.8 per cent year-on-year increase for the 12 months to the 30th June 2021. In the 20 days to the 17th July, NSW saw online purchases increase by 36 per cent year-on-year.
