Surface Visibility (SV) describes the integration of multiple systems used to track mail transported within the Postal Service network. The Postal Service originally designed Surface Visibility to improve postal transportation, but we expanded it to benefit the larger mailing community by making the entire mail value chain more transparent. The Postal Service Mail scans containers within a facility to provide the visibility necessary for platform operations to better meet dispatch of value for service commitments to the destination facility. Scanning on the dock allows for advance notification of mail entering and departing a facility, and it provides accurate departure information for planning at downstream facilities. Quality controls embedded in the system reduce misdirected and mis-delivered mail.
Additionally, because containers have dimensions embedded into the container barcodes, the application automatically captures trailer utilization when a container is loaded.
