Systems and methods are provided for pushing advertisement information from a host computer system to one or more delivery vehicles. Intelligent barcode data (IBD) from mailers is provided to the computer system. Physical mail pieces associated with the mailers are provided to a central processing plant, and manifest data is determined for the one or more delivery vehicles including IBD data from the mailers. The advertising information is pushed in real time to the one or more delivery vehicles from the computer system based on the manifest data and displayed on a display of a given vehicle. The content of the advertising information may be correlated with the delivery of the mail pieces being delivered using the IBD data.

Systems and methods for displaying visual information

A system for managing a plurality of carriers in a mail sorting facility includes a server configured to create, implement and/or execute a sort plan, a plurality of terminals disposed on the plurality of carriers and each configured to send a wireless beacon signal and at least one gateway in communication with the server and configured to receive the wireless beacon signals from the terminals. The terminals preferably each include an alert mechanism. Preferably, the server is further configured to determine the location of a terminal based on the beacon signal transmitted by the terminals to the servers via the at least one gateway and configured to compare the location of each terminal to the location required by the sort plan and to activate the alert mechanism in any terminal determined to be in an incorrect location.
