The (inauguration of) PosAja drop points is Pos Indonesia's gift to the people of Indonesia on our 276-year anniversary.
Jakarta (ANTARA) - State-run postal company PT Pos Indonesia (Persero) has added 27,600 drop points to allow the public and micro, small, and medium enterprise (MSME) actors to make deliveries across the country.

The drop points for the PosAja service were launched to coincide with the main event of the 276th anniversary of Pos Indonesia at the Pos Indonesia Museum, Bandung City, West Java, on Friday, Director for Courier and Logistics Business at the corporation, Siti Choiriana, said.

"They (the MSMEs) do not have to go far to visit the post office, as (the goods) only (need to be) collected at the PosAja drop points," she informed in a statement received here the same day.

Hence, the drop points are located in residential areas and business centers.

The effort is a part of the company’s commitment to providing the best services to the people, the director said.

Through the drop points, PT Pos Indonesia will be able to come closer to business players, thereby expanding their access to domestic and foreign markets.

"The (inauguration of the) PosAja drop points is Pos Indonesia's gift to the people of Indonesia on our 276-year anniversary. This oldest state-owned enterprise has gone through a long journey, assisting Indonesia as a liaison between regions to the outermost islands throughout the country," Choiriana added.

The company has provided a host of delivery services from the pre-independence, and post-reform, to the current 4.0 Industrial Revolution eras.

Regarding Industrial Revolution 4.0, the company is also participating in transforming courier and logistics delivery services through the PosAja application. The platform offers premium shipments within the city the same day, the next day, or within the regular timeframe.

Earlier, the director had said that her party was also preparing to roll out a faster and more guaranteed delivery service using drones as part of efforts to optimize the use of modern technology.
