The event brought together over 150 representatives of the digital sphere and became one of the largest demo days in 2023. Chairman of the Board of Kazpost JSC Asel Zhanasova delivered a welcoming speech.
“We are pleased to announce changes in our company. Today Kazpost is not only newspapers and letters. The world is changing towards e-commerce . To keep up with the times, we are actively developing the IT direction to optimize and modernize our processes,” noted the head of the company.
During the event, the results of the transformation of Kazpost JSC and the QazPost Digital direction were announced. The speakers also spoke about the projects Qazpost Geo, QazPost Keruen for purchases on marketplaces in the USA and Europe, and the new QazPost Market application, which combines postal and financial services, as well as a social marketplace.
“Before our eyes, Kazpost has become a progressive company that uses innovation at all stages of its development. Advanced modern solutions became the basis for expanding the postal and financial infrastructure. To do this, they are developing fulfillment centers, opening order pickup points for popular domestic and foreign marketplaces, and expanding the network of warehouses and parcel terminals. And I am very proud of this!” said the Minister of Digital Development, Innovation and Aerospace Industry of the Republic of Kazakhstan Bagdat Musin.
The Kazpost digital office plans to continue to introduce new and improved services, including financial ones.

“We see our mission as providing good service through digital technologies and reducing the cost of customer service. To do this, we are working in several directions at once: developing IT infrastructure, fighting fraud, expanding partnerships with marketplaces, building our own eco-structure, refining financial services, optimizing architecture and restructuring processes.
