    Item Description:

    The United Nations Postal Administration (UNPA) is the postal agency of the United Nations. It is the only organization in the world, which is neither a country not a territory that is permitted to issue postage stamps. UNPA has 3 main offices in New York, Geneva and Vienna, and a liaison office in Beijing. It is the only postal authority that issues stamps in three different currencies, namely, United States dollars, Swiss franc and Euro. Its mandates are to disseminate information on the activities and achievements of the United Nations and its specialized agencies through the medium of postage stamps, as well as to generate revenue for the Organization. UNPA processes around 37,000 orders per year, which translate to a total sale figure of approximately US$ 4.5 million annually. There are roughly 40,000 active customers and 30,000 SKUs.

    Currently UNPA has a customized system called Mega-Stamp, which was developed as a specialized sale, inventory management and financial system for UNPA. UNPA also maintains a stand-alone website (unstamps.org) with online store for customers to browse, order and pay for UN stamps and related products. For counter sales system, UNPA uses a third-party software called ERPLY. As of November 2015, UNPA started to use SAP system for all purchases, inventory management, production and capturing of all human resources and other operational expenses. It also uses SAP to consolidate sales from various legacy systems mentioned above and use it for financial monitoring and reporting purposes. It is UNPA’s objectives to replace the older Mega-Stamp, website and ERPLY systems with an integrated system accessible via web (i.e. web based system) that can be made to integrate with the SAP system.

    This new integrated system shall have the following features:

    • Maintain a complete database of all UNPA products, categories, material numbers, reference numbers, dimensions, various product sizes offered, purchase or production costs and retail prices.
    • Publish list of active products with relevant information for customers to shop via online store.
    • Collect and keep customers’ basic, delivery, order history, credit allowance, account balance, payment, subscription order information, and important correspondences for order and payment processing, account balance management, and customer services.
    • Accept orders, apply discounts/commissions, calculate handling and shipping costs, sort and prioritize the orders into various batches/priorities for order processing and fulfilment, whether they are entered directly by UNPA customers via unstamps.org website or by UNPA staff via system terminals and Point-of-Sale (POS).
    • Allow customers to manage their profiles online; obtain UNPA publications; view and print order history statement and invoices from the website; upload image files, customized certain information and texts, and generate visual of the personalised products; as well as submit orders for processing.
    • Match new product issue against customers’ subscription profiles for generating and fulfilment of pre- subscribed orders.
    • Monitor and control customers’ credits, generate invoices, create account receivables, process payments, manage customer account balances, and provide sales, aging and other financial reports.
    • Handle multiple currencies, particularly United States Dollar, Swiss france, Euro and Chinese Yuan; as well as multiple languages for online store, specifically English, French, German, Italian, Spanish and Chinese.
    • Online store is available and easily navigate on mobile devices, with customers able to select UNPA products, upload image files, process their payments and submit their orders successfully through these devices; preferably with the use of mobile applications specifically developed for Android and Apple devices.
    • Ability to integrate directly with SAP system or generate files that have been converted into SAP required format for immediate and/or automatic upload.
