Poczta Polska, the Polish national postal operator, has chosen Sophus Technology Inc., the leader in supply chain network design and planning solutions, to support its efforts to optimize and transform its postal supply chain for changing customer needs.
Headquartered in Warsaw, Poczta Polska has been operating for 460 years and currently employs over 62.000 people, making it the second largest employer in Poland. It is the national postal and courier operator, with the country’s largest network of 7,600 post offices, handling 3 million letters and 300,000 packages daily.

Sophus Technology, founded in 2019, quickly advanced to be the most capable and only cloud-native supply chain network design and planning platform. Its customers across all industries use the Sophus platform to address a broad spectrum of strategic and tactical supply chain design and planning challenges.
Radoslaw Malkiewicz – Managing Director for Logistics Network Architecture:
“As Poczta Polska, we have a large operating debt compared to the CEP market standards in Poland. It means that we need to transform our logistics network and operations to ensure the expected level of on-time deliveries at the market level at an optimal cost per shipment.
Moreover, we need to be able to do this already during the transition implementation, not after it is completed.
Therefore, we’ve decided to build an internal team with competencies in the area of postal supply chain design and transformation which, equipped with an appropriate tool, will be able to effectively support decision-making processes, not only at the stage of building a logistics strategy but also during its implementation. The tool should enable us to quickly and effectively use “What-if” analyses to simulate the expected outcomes of various scenarios, taking into account all key factors such as time-in-transit and revenues.
We needed to find a relevant partner who would be able to provide the required functionalities and quickly build our internal skills of effective use of their tool allowing us to build scenarios for the entire network, as well as, for regional and local delivery areas. So, we chose the Sophus platform, which, in our opinion, is the best way to fulfill our requirements among the strategic network planning tools available on the market.”
Evrim Övünç – Senior Vice President Sales & Marketing Europe:
“We are delighted to have been chosen to support Poczta Polska in their strategic endeavor to transform their supply chain. I am confident that the combination of our powerful software solution and the experience of our team with logistics supply chains will provide significant value to Polish Post in the course of our partnership.”
