Postfinder

An Oscar-worthy location finder

Using our internet location search tool Postfinder, users can access whatever information they need on postal outlets, mailboxes, packing stations and other Deutsche Post facilities anywhere, anytime. This ranges from simple location queries via postcode, right through to details on individual branches including opening hours and collection times. The web application also provides information on cash points, stamp vending machines and direct marketing centres. In recognition of its excellence, The Postfinder was awarded the World Mail Award in June 2104, also known as the ‘Post Oscar’.

Optimal user experience thanks to modern web technologies

The aim of the Postfinder was to provide a modern web application with good usability for the end user. doubleSlash was instrumental in designing and developing the solution. Our competence in efficient handling of complex and extensive datsets was particularly welcome in this project. The high number of accesses required a high-performance, fail-safe system. doubleSlash is still involved in the maintenance and further development of the Postfinder.
