Johannesburg, South Africa, October 2010 – TNT Express, a leading global business to business express delivery company, has taken the first step within the South African courier industry to adopt the world’s first Enhanced Mobile Communications Network (EMC Network).The platform, known as Qkey, offers consumers the convenience of interacting with the brand at anytime from anywhere via mobile phone technology.

Qkey is an innovative and interactive communications gateway designed specifically for mobile phones. TNT’s Q-channel, Q-868, is an information tool that will make the brand accessible to anyone with a mobile phone, be it a traditional voice handset or a more modern mobile internet enabled device.

“The Qkey platform places TNT at the forefront of a new era in communications,” says Tim Steel, Country General Manager of TNT Express.  “With Qkey, our clients can choose to interact with us at anytime from anywhere,” he explains. “So whether it’s to book a collection, track a package, or to obtain a quotation, clients now have a new and user-friendly method to access TNT.”  

When customers see TNT’s Q-number (Q868), they would need to dial in using the Qkey dial in number 0873 10 10 10 and simply punch in “868” ,when prompted for the Q-number, to instantly engage with the brand. TNT Express has established a full site behind their Q-channel which will mirror key features of their website, www.tnt.com. This will broaden TNT’s accessibility to people that are not always in front of a computer or in the office.

“Customer satisfaction has always been a priority for TNT. Our adoption of the Qkey platform demonstrates our commitment to keeping customers in touch and up to date with key developments and service offerings within the organisation,” says Steel. “With Qkey, we will not only lead the industry by providing best-in-class services to our customers, but will also offer clients easy accessibility to our key services right from the palm of their hands ” concludes Steel.
