Abstract

Postal address information is basis for customer contact channel as well as for the postal logistics such as sorting and dispatching, and the management system has been prepared. It should manage not only address itself but also information of delivery districts and sequences. It is necessary to consider geographic information system (GIS) to be included for intuitive and efficient manipulation. In order to construct a integrative system that could manage and utilize the standardized postal address information, we analyze various user requirements, define required GIS information, and present some results of data and process modeling. In addition, we explain several main functions with screen-shots of the implemented system. The GIS-enabled system, which is constructed after this study, is planned to be used to build and manage a database of nationwide postal addresses. It would make it possible to present other postal information systems with the address information and to provide various customer services.
