LINCOLNSHIRE, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Zebra Technologies, an innovator at the front line of business with solutions and partners that deliver a performance edge, today announced the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) awarded the company a 2022 Supplier Performance Award for outstanding service and delivery. USPS uses Zebra TC77 touch computers to scan, track and trace mail and packages across its delivery network and provide real-time information to its customers. The award recognizes Zebra for demonstrating outstanding value and helping USPS achieve its mission of providing exceptional mail service to the American public in 2021.

Zebra’s Android™-based TC77 touch computers help the USPS optimize operations in the on-demand economy while providing customers with the speed, accuracy and real-time tracking they expect.
