IPS Light is a web application, which aims
to provide a “light” web interface
of the PTC’s main mail logistics product,
IPS. It will cover the scanning of EMS,
letters and parcels items for automatic
exchanges of EDI information and tracking.

medium volumes and it is hoped that the
installation and training costs for these
Posts will be kept to a minimum.
