An Australian ASX-listed company has been awarded a major contract with New Zealand Post to improve parcel and mail monitoring and deliveries.

PrimeQ has offices across Australia and two in New Zealand.

NZ Post is migrating from their legacy system to cloud-based software from Oracle.

Perth-based cloud software company PrimeQ will install and support cloud-based transport management system and warehouse management system software from Oracle.

"New Zealand Post will be able to monitor deliveries in real time, creating a better customer experience via the Cloud," PrimeQ chief executive Andrew McAdams said.

"PrimeQ's installation of a state-of-the-art transport management system will use the power of data to track the transportation of letters and parcels at every step of their journey and improve planning of bulk pick-ups and deliveries," McAdams said.

"PrimeQ is also consolidating and upgrading New Zealand Post's warehouse management system to better service e-commerce businesses seeking to outsource their warehousing and deliveries," he said.

McAdam's said the contract was a major win for the Australian company which is expanding rapidly in New Zealand.

PrimeQ, said McAdams, had positioned itself as "the only business in New Zealand and Australia capable of delivering such a project."

"No other software provider can match the deep industry and product knowledge of our team," he said.

PrimeQ claims to be the only business in New Zealand and Australia to focus solely on Oracle cloud business solutions and services.

New Zealand Post spokesman Alan Court said PrimeQ was chosen because they are Oracle's certified implementation specialist for transport management systems in New Zealand.

Court said the contract was awarded first to Oracle and part of the relationship was agreeing to work with PrimeQ.
