What SPS does

SPS is a Zurich-headquartered business process outsourcing and workplace solutions provider operating across more than 20 countries with over 8,000 specialists and 600+ enterprise clients. Founded in 2001 and wholly owned by Swiss Post, the company operates two core service lines: Enterprise Workplace Solutions (EWS), covering Workplace Experience and Office Logistics including reception, hospitality, mail management, smart lockers, and AV support, and Technology Business Solutions (TBS), covering Data and Business Process Management, Customer Communications, HR and Payroll, with tailored offerings for BFSI and Healthcare clients.

The company delivers services through an integrated technology stack anchored by the proprietary SPS Nexus platform, which coordinates workplace experience, office logistics, digital tools, and data-driven insights. Its technology capabilities span Agentic Automation (autonomous GenAI-driven systems), Robotic Process Automation, Optical Character Recognition, natural language processing, generative AI, predictive analytics, and AI-driven AV monitoring. SPS is the self-described largest provider of mailroom services globally, managing over 600 mailrooms, and processes approximately 300 million inputs annually at its Bamberg Input Center.

SPS generates revenue through custom multi-year managed services contracts negotiated on client scope, volume, and geographic coverage, supplemented by technology-enabled AI and Automation Services with recurring subscription-style delivery. Distribution combines direct enterprise field sales with channel partners for geographic expansion (The Mail Company in Spain; Drake Business Services across Philippines, Taiwan, Australia, New Zealand, and South Korea).
