That's what I was referring to when I was discussing how the USPS was updating their systems to be able to compete with FDX. There is a lot of money to be made in the overnight and delivery parcel business since the Internet will likely place a lot of retailing operations under extreme margin pressures. There is only one middle man between the manufacturer/vendor and the customer. And that would be the people who move product from point A to point B. To manage that type of economy, manufacturers will need to have the best just in time IT and process systems available as inventory buffer held by retailers are contracted in the name of profitability. So USPS strategy is to fight fire with fire. Between now and 2002, USPS will spend $5.9 billion on IT improvements to get the mail sorted and delivered faster than ever: robotic package sorters, increased use of bar codes, upgraded mail-forwarding systems. That's in addition to the massive intranet project intended to speed up mail delivery and improve customer service by keeping the organization's mammoth workforce better informed and better managed.
