Is this company notable for any reason? Thedreamdied 22:13, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

They are well-known, direct, international competitors of e.g. Pitney Bowes though less present in North America. Notable enough to stay in my opinion. -- VonBlinkendenzwoelf (talk) 11:56, 14 July 2016 (UTC)

Requested Edit

I work for Quadient, which was formerly called Neopost until September 23rd, 2019. Quadient, an international company, is publicly traded and a Component B of Euronext Paris (the French stock market), and part of the SBF 120 and CAC Mid 60 stock indices, the 120 largest companies on the French stock exchange. I’d like to suggest the following updates to this article:

Extended content

1. Please substitute the new name of the company. “Quadient” instead of “Neopost” in the following locations: a. Please MOVE the entire article to a new title “Quadient” to reflect its new name. b. Sentence one of the second paragraph, beginning: “With a direct presence in 29 countries and close to 5,800 employees, Neopost reported annual sales” c. Title of the Infobox: replace “Neopost S.A." with “Quadient” 2. Please substitute the first paragraph as follows: Please remove: “Neopost was the name of a global technology provider of digital communications, shipping and mail solutions. Neopost is now known as Quadient. Neopost provides products ranging from physical mail processing systems (mailing systems and folders-inserters) to digital communications management (Customer Communications Management and Data Quality applications), as well as supply chain and e-commerce process optimization solutions, from point of sale to delivery, including associated tracking services.” Please substitute it with: "Quadient, (founded in 1924 as Neopost), is a company that originally specialized in mail-related solutions. Its business evolved over the years from being a manufacturer of franking machines and mailroom equipment to a portfolio that includes business process automation, customer experience management, and parcel locker solutions." Comment - the current lead is sourced only to the company About page. The newly proposed lead is sourced to Le Figaro, a prominent editorial publication. 3. Please substitute the sentence as follows: Please remove the following sentence from the third paragraph of the lead: “Neopost is listed in compartment A of Euronext Paris and belongs to the SBF 120 index. Neopost name change source. " Please substitute the following in its place: "Quadient is a company listed on the Euronext Paris market (Compartment B). Its stock is part of the SBF 120 index under the mnemonic code QDT." Comment: substitutes secondary sources for primary source. Updates out-of-date information. 4. Please add a new item to the bottom of the list of the section entitled “History”: 2019 The company was renamed Quadient 5. Update the Infobox as follows: a. In the Infobox, please remove the old “logo = Neopost logo.svg”. Please substitute the new “logo = “Quadient logo tagline RGB.png” b.

Please remove the following section because it has no source: Research and development Neopost dedicates between 4 and 5% of its revenue to research and development every year. More than 300 people, who come from various cultures and fields of expertise, work on future generations of systems, software, infrastructures and networks linked to mail management. 8. Please remove the following section and subsections because they have no sources: Sustainable development Eco design All production sites and distribution subsidiaries have ISO 14001 certification with respect to environmental performance and OHSAS 18001 with respect to health and safety. Neopost has created an eco-design guide that lays out rules for environmentally friendly design for every new project by all its research and development entities. The IS mailing systems range is the first resulting from this new scheme. Its performance has been improved substantially compared with the previous generation: 10% reduction in materials used in production, 40% reduction in machine weight and 50% reduction in electricity usage in standby mode. Eco label The Eco Label specification defines environmental performance standard for Neopost hardware products, including Document Systems, Postage Meters, Address Printers, and any other hardware products sold by Neopost. The Eco Label specification includes key concepts to achieve reduction or elimination of environmental impacts. This includes the use of environmentally sensitive material, material selection and raw material consideration, weight reduction, packaging, energy conservation, life cycle extension (also called remanufacturing), end-of-life management.

Neopost → Quadient – This company has officially changed its name and now trades under the name "Quadient." This request should be non-controversial, but as I have a COI, when I submitted a proposal for an independent editor to update the article with the new name, they asked that I submit a "request move." All the sourcing, as well as updates to the text that are required (e.g. new stock symbol, new logo, new company name in the lead) can be found at: Talk:Neopost#Requested Edit After the move is done, I will resubmit the Request Edits for the updates in the text and/or I would be grateful if any editor would review the naming-related updates at this time. Thanks. Mango9876 (talk) 19:56, 4 May 2020 (UTC)

• Support. The name has been changed for over six months, it's listed that way, and the specialist press appears to use the new name. It's not as if Neopost is a household word. Some of the references given can be telescoped and the French ones should be translated using the trans-title field of the {{cite}} template, but I see nothing controversial here. I've never heard of this company (have no COI). 62.165.200.11 (talk) 04:43, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

Here you go:

3.  Done
4.  Not done: I removed the paragraph because the info is in the infobox.
5.  Done
6.  Done

Requested Edit

Thank you @DarthFlappy for the updates and your answers. Following your comments, I have a few suggestions to add:

1. (previously 2.) The first paragraph needs to be updated, as the company expanded its portfolio and is now selling non-mailing-related services too.

Please remove: “Quadient, formerly known as Neopost, is a manufacturer of mailing equipment and provider of mailing-related services.”

And substitute it with: "Founded in 1924, Quadient (formerly known as Neopost) is an international company specialized in mail-related solutions, business process automation, customer experience management, and parcel locker solutions."

2. (previously 4.) The third paragraph has old information and needs to be updated:

Please remove: “Neopost is listed in compartment A of Euronext Paris and belongs to the SBF 120 index. ”

And substitute it with: "Quadient is a company listed on the Euronext Paris market (Compartment B). Its stock ticker is QDT."

Comment: Quadient is not part of the SBF 120 anymore. Source: https://www.boursorama.com/bourse/actualites/quadient-vers-une-sortie-du-sbf120-6d90e3ca4e5376892151128f29496a74

3. (previously 6.b.) Update the Infobox as follows:

Please remove the old stock symbol: “traded_as = Euronext Paris: NEO ”

And substitute the new stock symbol: “traded_as = Euronext Paris: QDT

Comment: Updates out-of-date information

4. The website links need to be updated:

a. In the Infobox section, please remove: “www.quadient.com”

And substitute: “www.quadient.com”

Comment: the link was not clickable

b. In the ‘External links’ section, the “Official website” needs to be updated with the new link: “www.quadient.com”

5. Remove the maintenance templates:

Comment: the issues have been resolved

Thank you.

Hi @Mango9876:, thank you for using the request edit template. Below are my responses to your requests.

1.  Partly done I did not add the parcel locker information because there is not an article explaining what it is, a layman reader is not going to understand what that is per WP:RF and, although my French is limited, I could not find that information in the French citation provided. Everything else was added. I removed the reference to 1924 because neither citation gave a year that the company was founded.

2.  Done

3.  Done This has been done by another editor.

4.  Done This has been done by another editor.

5. Removed the more citations needed tag, removed the copypaste tag as Earwig's copyvio tool only listed [1] as a possible violation and I am not sure who copied from who. Advert tag was removed after I deleted some promo language about having a "presence in 29 countries."

I will now close this ticket. Please post below if you have any questions. Happy editing! Z1720 (talk) 00:45, 19 November 2020 (UTC)
