Sr. Associate

SkyPostal is an international mail delivery service, specializing in delivering mail and packages to Latin America. Its management has extensive and wide-ranging experience in the international delivery of mail and packages.

Chief Executive Officer

Albert P. Hernandez has almost four decades of delivery experience to Latin America, having established his first venture in Venezuela in the early ‘70s. Since then, Hernandez has been crucial in establishing the mail and package delivery business in Latin America for companies such as Fed Ex, Unipost in Europe, and Deutsche Post. Using this vast experience, he built Skynet Worldwide Express Network into a leader in time-sensitive mail, courier and distribution service.

Chief Operating Officer

AJ Hernandez started at the bottom of the business as a package sorter. In the early 90’s, as an employee of SkyNet Couriers, he developed a unique concept called “SkyBox”. AJ then developed a business around this concept and eventually spun it off as a separate company before it was sold to LanChile Airlines. It was obvious to AJ that Latin America needed reliable mail delivery, so he started SkyPostal. AJ made sure that SkyPostal was distinctive as he instilled it with the urgency mentality of a courier service.

President

Michael J. Knorr has held the post of Executive Vice President at Swiss Post International (USA), as well as senior positions at Express Messenger Systems (EMS) and TNT express Worldwide. Michael has worked for over 20 years at these companies in senior staff positions such as strategic planning, as well as operational positions, having developed and managed large-scale distribution and mail operations.

Vice President of Technology

Bert Herrera has over 10 years experience developing e-commerce and enterprise solution development and design. He has executed projects for diverse clients such as USPS Priority Mail projects and Fiera.com e-commerce solutions. Bert’s expertise is in managing and providing high-end technical solutions that have an international scope.

European Director

Chris Weber is responsible for sales and service to Europe. Based in London, Chris brings over 25 years experience in senior positions in the mail distribution industry, including Managing Director of SkyNet Worldwide Express UK, and President of Sky Courier Network.

SkyPostal Networks Inc. (OMGA.OB) Provides Economical Reliable Service throughout Latin America

SkyPostal Networks Inc. (OMGA.OB) has a goal to create a new standard for “time defined” mail delivery. The company’s first area of focus is Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC). Utilizing competitor’s traditional regional mail services, mail is delivered in a 17-day time frame and has a 30 percent average loss rate.

SkyPostal, which currently handles over 25 million pieces of mail per month, is able to hand deliver its mail over an average 7.5 day period. SkyPostal is the largest private mail network in the LAC and has agreements with the “best in class” messengers in each country it services. The company utilizes these established ‘outsourced’ messenger networks along with PosTrac™, a proprietary software system, to provide its customers with unparalleled service. Up-to-date status on mail can be found on the PosTrac™ website.

The SkyPostal management team is serious about maintaining the company’s high level of service. SkyPostal monitors its own performance by ‘seeding’ over 2,000 items per week. The recipients of these mailings are called ‘seed panelists’, who then provide SkyPostal with the time and date of delivery of the ‘seeded’ items. The company is dedicated to staying within a 7 to 10 day turn-around time for hand delivery into major LAC cities and to provide Proof of Delivery (POD) into the PosTrac™ system within 48 hours.

SkyPostal combines technology with a personal touch to provide reliable service to the LAC. As SkyPostal’s reputation becomes more well-known across the region, the business is anticipated to continue to grow in an area that has only a few more expensive, less competent mailing options.

SkyPostal Networks, Inc. (OMGA.OB) Poised for Growth in 2008

SkyPostal, an international mail distribution company that specializes in offering the hand delivery of mail and periodicals into Latin America (LAC), currently has service agreements with the French, German and Swiss postal services to deliver mail in the LAC region. The company is also providing reliable, time-defined, international “intelligent” private postal services at lower costs than the United States Postal Service and the major European postal agencies, with higher customer satisfaction.

SkyPostal is one of the largest private mail networks in Latin America that handles mail from European postal administrators, major publishers, mail consolidators and financial institutions that require time-defined and reliable delivery of mail, magazines and mail order parcels. The company has exclusive agreements with over 20 major local “correos privados” in 20 countries in the LAC.

Utilizing PosTrac technology, SkyPostal facilitates the collection of a GPS address database and the networking of each of the local country operators into an integrated regional Intelligent Mail delivery network. With SkyPostal’s current contracts with private postal companies and an experienced management team, the company believes it will be able to acquire additional private postal delivery companies. The company plans to use a combination of cash and stock for these acquisitions, and plans to continue its growth initiatives in 2008.

SkyPostal, Inc. (OMGA.OB); Necessity - The Mother of All Invention (Not to Mention Profits)

In the U.S, we take our mail system for granted. We pop a letter or some other correspondence in the “box” and we know that, with very few exceptions, that piece will be delivered in a matter of days. Naturally, we tend to think that the rest of the world operates this way, too. If you’ve not lived in a third world country, you wouldn’t have any idea what the mail service is like. But make no mistake about it, compared to the U.S. postal system, the bulk of the world’s mail delivery is a shambles. This is especially true in Latin America and the Caribbean.

Imagine for a moment you have a business interest in Latin America. You send a document from the U.S. to the Latin address, but it never arrives. Imagine also that your Latin American business is thriving, selling natural resources to the growing European Bloc area. So they send you order forms. Yet they don’t get delivered. Is that possible? It’s not only possible, it’s the norm. According to research based on mailing tests from Europe and the USA, approximately 30% of the mail destined to the LAC (Latin America & Caribbean) never gets delivered.

This is where SkyPostal (trading under the symbol OMGA) comes in. SkyPostal’s mission is to provide its customers with a consistent, secure and reliable mail delivery service of the highest standards into Latin America, the Caribbean and Mexico through the use of innovative logistics solutions and state of the art information technology. Considering that the industry in Latin America is completely fragmented, positive growth through careful acquisitions will provide positive cash flow, while the company becomes the dominant provider in the region. On any given day a single business address might receive mail that’s been delivered by five or six different companies. By consolidating those smaller players, SkyPostal takes on an economy of scale allowing larger profit margins, with no increase in costs.

It’s really quite rare, in this day and age, to find a company that is EBITA positive, has a tremendous management team, has already built a solid business, and is trading for around $1 a share; yet one of the keys to their success is simply getting the mail delivered. But that’s where SkyPostal really shines. Frankly, there has been no direct competition, because up until SkyPostal came on the scene, the only choices were with the very expensive, time-sensitive providers like UPS and DHL, or the smaller local carriers whose dependability was less than desired.

SkyPostal has proven that they can take the “final mile”, which is the actual physical address delivery of mail, and do it for less than half the price that the majors charge by focusing on “time defined” delivery, versus time specific delivery. As a region-wide, cross-border private postal service, SkyPostal solves a large market need for reliable, low cost, time defined, and trackable mail service in Latin America and the Caribbean. Because there is great need, and SkyPostal has the solution, it would be the wise for investors to take a closer look at SkyPostal for its growth and profit potential.

SkyPostal Networks, Inc. (OMGA.OB) - Time-Defined vs. Time Sensitive; the Differences are Startling, and Profitable

Statistics show that nearly half of all the packages that are sent via FedEx, DHL, etc., are not time sensitive, but the customer and the shipper still want tracking and proof of delivery. In Latin America and the Caribbean arena, this is even more of a concern considering that - in some of those areas - up to 40% of all the mail sent never reaches its destination. This is exactly what makes SkyPostal’s new GPS based mail delivery technology so exciting. For the first time “all” mail items can be tracked from drop scan to delivery. Yet with this new technology, there’s no signature required, making this quite revolutionary.

SkyPostal, Inc., based in Miami, Florida, is an international mail distribution company that specializes in offering hand delivery of commercial mail and periodicals into the Latin America-Caribbean region. Up until now, the delivery of mail in Latin America - Caribbean region was a hit or miss situation at best, and SkyPostal saw a unique opportunity to capitalize on this situation by offering a quality service at a tremendous price. So, how can they beat the majors in the pricing arena, while still offering an Internet-visible tracking service? Simple, they’re working on a time-defined premise, versus a time sensitive guarantee.

The major carriers such as UPS, DHL, and FedEx also serve Latin America and the Caribbean. But to get delivery confirmation, it’s customary to require the use of their premium services, which offer the time sensitive guarantee. Usually this comes in the form of overnight delivery, but these services are quite expensive and not at all acceptable for mailing such items as periodicals and statements. In fact, 50% of all the packages that are sent through the majors are not time sensitive, and yet the customer is paying for it because there was no other choice.

SkyPostal is changing all that, and in a very unique way. By using time-defined parameters of delivery, which means the mail will be delivered in a particular time frame instead of a specific date, they are able to offer the customer tremendous savings. If your mail isn’t time sensitive, why would you want to pay for time sensitive delivery? You wouldn’t, and SkyPostal agrees. But that’s just half of the story. The other half concerns some incredibly unique technology.

SkyPostal has developed a proprietary, state of the art, web-based system that they call PosTrac. The system provides scanning, bar coding, tracking and delivery confirmation of all mail items. It permits the customer to use the Internet and be able to track his mail until arrival at the destination country as it goes out for delivery. From there it gets even better. They have developed a handheld GPS equipped PDA scanner that solves the “last mile” tracking to the physical address by providing automatic confirmation of delivery using GPS coordinates without having to knock on the door to obtain a signature. Think about that one again, because it’s stunning. By recording the GPS coordinates of the mail receiving address, the mail deliverer has verifiable proof that he’s actually been to where he says he’s been, and the customer can feel satisfied that indeed his mail has gone to its final destination, despite no one being there to sign for it.

Most mail clients want assurance (confirmation) of delivery versus overnight-type speed, and even fewer need signature proof of delivery, which is very expensive. SkyPostal offers a time-defined, Internet trackable, mail distribution service at a fraction of what the express courier integrators charge for “overnight delivery”, which is often just simply not required. SkyPostal offers price, features and quality of service that the region so desperately craves. The demand is there, the sector is growing and SkyPostal addresses and solves the issues. Does it get any better than that?
