A Breakthrough In Sorting Management
Synaxio has recently finalised the installation of a next generation operational reporting service based on Exalead CloudView for its mail sorting operations.
With postal organisations across the globe entering into an era of historic change, with liberalisation reshaping the postal industry worldwide at the same time that economic and environmental crises are lending a new urgency to the need for sustainable growth and development, flexibility and response times are crucial.
Synaxio Analytics is a real-time monitoring and reporting system, and the first ever deployment of a search engine-based decision intelligence application in the postal services market.
It is built upon the innovative Exalead CloudViewTM search engine, which was uniquely engineered for both the Web and the enterprise. What this dual heritage means for you is that Synaxio Analytics can be deployed with unprecedented speed and operated non-intrusively in any IT ecosystem. It can further process staggering volumes of data using remarkably lean resources - indexing up to 100 million records and processing up to 20 queries per second on a single basic server.
Essentially, Synaxio Analytics provides:
• A fully unified, organization-wide view of operations
• End-to-end pipeline visibility
• Real-time activity monitoring and reporting
• Workflow support for just-in-time management
• A flexible base for building new customer services
The platform aggregates data across your entire organization, extracting real-time data from production equipment like sorting machines as well as archived data from resources like datawarehouses and legacy reporting systems. The system then exploits this unified base to deliver real-time monitoring and reporting to any internal or external user (customers, employees, partners, etc.), regardless of their technical skill level.
In addition, the system provides sub-second query processing and a data refresh rate of less than 10 minutes (versus 24 hours for traditional BI tools). This timely information is presented to users within customizable Web dashboards, with visual aids like charts and graphs yielding at-a-glance insights. In short, Synaxio Analytics provides the 'zero-training’ usage and high responsiveness Web-savvy users have come to demand.

A flexible foundation for meeting broader sorting process management needs:
• Ability to establish nationwide benchmarks to improve production
• Availability of a single tool for monitoring production, no matter the site or user
• End-to-end monitoring of sorting service quality for all products and services
• Capacity to supply other information systems with data for common performance indicators, or with raw operational data.
