In many postal/parcel environments the post codes/zip code are used by character recognitions systems to automatically sort the throughput. The post code will move the item to a suction (zone) in the sorting area i.e. something with a post code of ab12 9YY will be first sorted into the AB area then into the ab 12 and again to the 9, some will go to the final digits but these are normally areas of street, road industrial site. The automated process is estimated in the most heavily used sorting offices to increase the sort capability hundreds of times faster than human sorting. Codes which are not recognised and then dropped in to a section where humans sort and will use other address details to identify the recipient. The overall cost saving is enormous.
