Mr Youssef Ousbane, Project Director at Poste Maroc in charge of the PPZ pilot project, and Ms Lisha Kuang, Director of Public Affairs at SF Express, presented their respective project management teams that will work on the pilot. Information on data volumes and the requirements at legs 1 and 2 were the focus of the meeting.

SF Express, which recently joined the UPU Consultative Committee, will provide the volumes to Poste Maroc during the testing phase. The company is the fourth-largest integrated logistics service provider in the world, with an international business network covering 99 countries and a service offering including express delivery, freight forwarding and supply chain. The pilot project represents an opportunity for SF Express to enter the African market, as the company has, to date, mainly targeted Asia, the Americas and Europe.
