Omni-channel strategy

The digital transformation undertaken by Poste Italiane in recent years has involved not only its own offer, but also the distribution model which, through an omnichannel strategy, allows the Company the possibility to provide services in step with the changed needs of its customers.
Digital channels, and more generally remote channels, support the physical channel, Poste Italiane’s historical asset, every day in the management of customer relations. In 2022, Poste Italiane’s omnichannel interaction platform reached more than 20 million interactions per day.
The pandemic encouraged the acceleration of the transition to the new operating model, enabling the Company to respond quickly to changes in the market by leveraging its digital platforms, that exploit the opportunities arising from technological innovation to create new personalised products and services and by opening up additional channels of communication with its customers.
The Group’s integrated multi-channel platform provides for the monitoring of customers and the provision of services through 3 channels:
  • the proprietary physical network: this consists of the Post Offices, the sales force for business customers and the logistics network for mail and parcel delivery;
  • a digital infrastructure and remote contact points: made up of all the Group’s digital properties and the contact centre, capable of serving the entire national population;
  • the third-party physical network: consisting of approximately 58 thousand points, the result of commercial partnership agreements for the marketing of Group products and services managed also through the recent acquisition of the company LIS. For further details, please refer to the section ‘Group structure’.
Below is a representation of the Group’s omnichannel platform:
