Report Description
The Postal Service has a pricing management system based on procedures and methodologies that were developed over 20 years ago. The Postal Service’s primary sources for developing and analyzing prices comes from statistical analysis and reports that are generated on a quarterly and annual basis. These systems are not integrated; thus, it is difficult for the Postal Service to use this information to be nimble in its pricing strategy. Our objective was to identify opportunities for increased efficiencies in pricing processes and initiatives for competitive products using industry best practices.
