How Technology & Integration at the National Postal Forum Drives USPS Contracting Success

Delivery technology integration

Each year, the National Postal Forum (NPF) brings together USPS leadership, mailing and shipping professionals, and technology partners to explore innovations shaping the future of mail and logistics.

For companies working with USPS – including mail contractors and logistics providers – effective software solutions aren’t just a luxury; they’re a strategic necessity. As the Forum highlights cutting-edge practices and educational tracks, one recurring theme is integration – the ability for a platform to communicate seamlessly across systems, stakeholders, and operational data streams.

Below, we break down the key integrations that matter most to the NPF community and how TracxTMS aligns with those needs.

1. EDI, USPS Reporting & CLEAR Integration

At the core of USPS contract fulfillment lies accurate reporting and compliance. TracxTMS offers direct EDI reporting to USPS with support for CLEAR and USPS Integrated Logistics Ecosystem workflows.

For NPF attendees focused on operations efficiency, this delivers:

  • Automated data exchanges with USPS systems
  • Reduced manual workload
  • Stronger performance metrics tracking

These capabilities were highlighted in many NPF sessions focused on modernizing mail operations and leveraging data to optimize delivery performance.

2. FourKites for Real-Time Tracking & Operational Intelligence

Visibility into carriers’ operational data – such as vehicle location and delivery progress – is a critical topic at the National Postal Forum, especially for transportation and fleet management professionals. Integrating FourKites’ real-time visibility feeds into your TMS gives you exactly that.

With FourKites integration, USPS contractors can:

  • Monitor live vehicle movement
  • Address delays proactively
  • Share logistics visibility with stakeholders

Real-time insights like this help Forum attendees and exhibitors alike improve responsiveness and delivery performance.

3. Blue Yonder Connectivity for Smarter Planning

Integration with broader transport and supply chain planning systems – like Blue Yonder’s platform – is essential for optimizing route planning and resource allocation.

For NPF attendees focusing on transportation strategy and technology trends, this connection means:

  • More intelligent execution aligned with broader supply chain goals
  • Enhanced coordination between planning and dispatch
  • Data-driven visibility across partners

NPF programming often emphasizes the intersection of operational excellence and advanced technology – exactly where integrated TMS platforms shine.

4. Technology as a Competitive Advantage

The National Postal Forum dedicates entire tracks to data technology solutions and operations efficiency – notably the kinds of advancements that arise when software solutions integrate seamlessly with major platforms.

TracxTMS provides all this while remaining tailored to the unique demands of USPS contractors – combining dispatch, compliance, routing, and reporting in a single, integrated platform.

Whether your team is operational, technical, or executive-focused, the right TMS integrations will help you implement Forum takeaways and transform them into operational impact.
