The eFMS uses spatial analysis tools to support USPS initiatives which includes, efficient use of space within its 35,000 facilities and building spatial tools to help manage leases on around 25,000 facilities. NAVTEQ Map Data is used in eFMS to assess the impact of delivery zone adjustments and reduce costs as facilities are reconfigured.
The Map Data includes geospatial information such as roads, cities, political boundaries, physical features, places, railroads, census boundaries, parks, schools, fire departments, police departments and hospitals and other geospatial vector data layers of important value to USPS geospatial program.
Wendy Henry, vice president and chief operating officer of Johnston McLamb, said: “Johnston McLamb is very pleased to have a central role in helping USPS achieve one of its highest profile initiatives. The richness of the NAVTEQ map data enables us to create valuable spatial applications for USPS that live up to the high standards of quality that companies have come to expect from us.”
Roy Kolstad, vice president of Enterprise Americas at NAVTEQ, said: “We are excited to win this opportunity to support the U.S. Postal Service with their mission critical geospatial needs. This award by USPS recognizes NAVTEQ’s ability to provide the most accurate, complete and comprehensive map coverage available in the industry and demonstrates yet another way that high quality maps can be used to improve government operations.”
