KUALA LUMPUR: Pos Laju, the courier arm of Pos Malaysia Bhd, aims to increase its revenue by at least 20% annually. 

Pos Malaysia group chief executive officer Datuk Mohd Shukrie Mohd Salleh said Pos Laju had targeted a higher delivery rate of 100 million parcels in the next two years worth RM1bil from 70 million parcels worth RM700mil in the financial year ended March 31, 2017. 

“Pos Laju has recorded more than 20% increase in the last one year,” he told reporters at the the prize giving ceremony for Pos Laju Prepaid Craze contest winners and the launch of Pos Laju Kiosk at Kenanga Fashion Wholesale Mall in Kuala Lumpur on Friday.

To achieve the target, Mohd Shukrie said the group would establish 15 additional Pos Laju kiosks in major cities by 2018, as well as other facilities including Pos Laju EziBox, Pos Laju EziDrive-Thru and PosLaju Prepaid EziDrop.

Pos Laju kiosks offer products and services such as Express Mail Service (International), Next Day Delivery and Time Certain Service.

“We hope to achieve about 80 million deliveries this year and 100 million (annually) within the next two years,” he said. 

He added that the group had allocated between RM15,000 and RM20,000 to set up each Pos Laju kiosk to facilitate dealings by its customers. 

Pos Malaysia also plans to have an additional 50 units of Pos Laju Ezibox facility at strategic locations to better serve its customers’ e-commerce needs.
