technology company’s time-to-market by 25 percent.
According to the International Design Awards, a great product has the
potential to be life changing. Simultaneously beautiful and innovative,
useful and creative, great products are designed to solve a problem, to
make life easier or simply spread joy. The SendPro C-Series leverages
the latest cloud technology to securely deliver greater value and
convenience to users through a range of apps, analytics and services.
Designed with the modern small office in mind, it is a functional
product with an elegant aesthetic and a small footprint.
The SendPro C-Series features
-
All-in-one technology for small office mailing and package shipping;
-
A complete solution that unifies sending mail and shipping packages
(such as UPS and FedEx) all from one place;
-
Internet-of-things capabilities built on an Android platform; and
-
A smart, modern, and future-focused device, with third-party
developers already building innovative new apps.
“We are honored with this recognition from the International Design
Awards. It takes a cross-functional community to bring a well-designed
product to market,” said Ruth Frank, Vice President of Client and User
Experience at Pitney Bowes. “Rooted in Design Thinking practices, the
SendPro C-Series is the result of the foundational work we have done
over the last few years. Our Design System and methods place the client
experience at the center of all our product development.”
All SendPro C-Series models are based on an integrated Android operating
system, making this an open platform capable of running any combination
of thousands of Android applications. The SendPro C-Series is also an
access point for the Pitney Bowes Commerce Cloud, which offers a host of
valuable new applications and services from Pitney Bowes and partners,
including the USPS and Google.
The C-Series is one of the latest innovations of the SendPro family of
products. In April 2016, the original SendPro online application was
introduced. The first-of-its-kind, cloud-based multi-carrier shipping
solution for the modern office, the SendPro P-Series launched in July of
2016, integrating shipping and mailing and managing incoming deliveries
for high volume senders. The C-Series brings that same multi-carrier
shipping, mailing and tracking capabilities to small businesses looking
to simplify their shipping and mailing while reducing costs. The open
platform allows third-party developers to build applications, which
exponentially increases our ability to create value.
