Advanced Mailing Services, Albuquerque’s most trusted name for mailing services, announced today they are using the PTI First Class Automated Presorter. Presorters automatically read addresses and barcodes (where necessary) as well as sort mail to the final destination zip code. Once sorted, mail is put into trays and presented to the USPS for mailing at a discounted rate. Even an individual mailer can take advantage of the discounts by combining with other businesses:
· Presorting processes mail in the same way that the USPS does. Then, the presorting bureau can offer a discount without sacrificing time efficiency and can even expedite mail delivery.
· Presorting technology is still a young technology, but automation techniques have continued to improve over the past decade. OCR (optical character recognition) systems provide more accurate processing. Programming has become more efficient, providing for a bigger range of mail that qualifies for postage discounts. Even handwritten mail, flat mail, First Class mail or Standard mail can be read and barcoded.
· Catalogues, annual reports, prospectuses and other materials can benefit from presorting. While this form of mail has generally required longer processing times and higher costs, presorting can reduce postage significantly.
· Delivery time for special forms of mail actually comes close to the same delivery time as First Class mail.
· Presort bureaus may also provide additional services that can save time, reduce mailing costs, and provide improved customer service.
Using the same imaging technology and automated processing equipment that is currently used to sort mail means handling customer data capture requirements are easier and more efficient.
In today’s economy, businesses are all looking for ways to cut spending while still keeping our customers satisfied. Whether a business is mailing invoices, account statements, direct marketing or other kinds of correspondence, all businesses desire cost-effective solutions that include on-time delivery. Partnering with a presort business is an easy way to save money on postage while getting mail processed quickly and efficiently.
