PIN code system for Freight logistics software

Tuesday, August 16th, 2011

The PIN code system was introduced in 1972 by the postal department. Before the PIN code system, the mails were sorted based on district. A unique six digit code has been assigned for every post office in India based on which the mails will be forwarded. Totally there are 155,000 post offices and 25,000 of which are departmental post offices (DPO). The rest are extra departmental post offices or branch offices (BO).

There are nine PIN zones in India and the first digit of the PIN code represents the zone.

First digit of PIN

Areas included

1

Delhi, Haryana, Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir (including Pakistan administered Kashmir), Chandigarh

2

Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand

3

Rajasthan, Gujarat, Daman and Diu, Dadra & Nagar Haveli

4

Goa, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh

5

Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka

6

Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Pondicherry, Lakshadweep

7

Orissa, West Bengal, Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram, Tripura, Meghalaya, Andaman & Nicobar Islands

8

Bihar, Jharkhand

9

Army Post office (APO) and Field Post office (FPO)

The second digit indicates the sub-region, and the third digit indicates the sorting district within the region. The final three digits are assigned to individual post offices. PIN codes of Mumbai start with 400001, where 4 shows the PIN zone and 40 determines the Sub region. Thane also belongs to the sub region “40”. Other sub-regions in Maharashtra include areas starting with PIN codes 41, 42, 43 and 44. The PIN code of Pune is 411001 and hence Pune belongs to sub region “41”. Kolhapur and Sangli also belong to the same sub region. Bhiwandi and Nashik belong to sub region “42”. Aurangabad belongs to sub region “43”. Nagpur has the PIN code 440001 and thereby belongs to sub region “44”. The third digit in PIN code indicates the sorting district within the region. The final three digits are assigned to individual post offices within the region. 

The PIN code system is into the 40th year now and has certainly revolutionised the entire Indian postal system. Many parcel, cargo, freight and logistics providers sort their consignments and deliver them based on the Indian PIN code system.

Multi lingual help for logistics software

Monday, June 27th, 2011

SA-FMS freight logistics ERP solution has successfully completed over 750 installations for clients all over India. Implementation works were completed at these locations and proper training  provided to the staff by the well equipped SA-FMS team based on the professionally crafted training program. However there were concerns raised by few staff from some branches about a training kit in Hindi, which will make it easier for them to understand the product in a better manner.

As a part of that, a knowledge base was added by the SA-FMS team which explained various operations and modules in SA-FMS in Hindi. It was integrated with a flash demo which shows various operations that can be performed with the freight logistics system. The Knowledge base is accessible online and we received  feedback and suggestions to add more “how to” attributes

Ravi Chand, booking staff of Bhilwara branch of one of our clients said, “The Hindi help system with visual demo has helped us to train the new staff. They are able to understand the operations easily as the description is provided in Hindi. This helps them in self learning and in understanding the logistic ERP management software quickly. Moreover a senior staff is not required to train the new staff, as the file explains every basic process in detail and shows it visually.”

We have been receiving similar responses from many of our clients about the knowledge base. As part of providing the best services and benefits to our clients, we are committed to move ahead with additional languages and functionalities which will indeed help us to reach better heights.
