The Sharjah Urban Planning Council, SUPC, has unveiled a revamped version of the Sharjah City Postal Code System’s free smartphone App after an in-depth review.

The updated version of the App ensures more intuitive and precise user experience, including simpler intelligent search for destinations in the emirate through Google’s geographical information system, GIS.

The latest version is equipped with latest technologies that will make deliveries easier and more efficient. It will also more accurately map the Emirate of Sharjah by identifying locations using a five-digit code detailing – the emirate, the city, the area, and a two-number sector code.

The revelation came during the recent GITEX Technology Week where Khalid Al Ali, Secretary-General of SUPC, conducted a presentation at Sharjah Government Platform on the mechanism and benefits of the innovative system, which was launched by the SUPC recently to help users precisely and smoothly identify destinations and locate all services available within reach, including business services and all kinds of service centres across the emirate.

The system aims to raise the efficiency of postal services in the emirate, and it is linked to the GIS as per international standards.
