Plug in to the international postal market
The process of organizing a complete end-to-end mail service is complex and typically involves a number of parties to ensure successful delivery. The key stages in the process include information processing, printing, production, distribution and delivery.
The key to introducing efficiency and cost savings in this end-to-end process is
the use of optimized information services that can reduce the burden of sorting and printing from the first stages of the lifecycle. Correctly executed, this approach provides companies with more efficient and cheaper
distribution processes.
As the European postal market deregulates a new market is opening with alternative delivery solutions developing. As the alternatives develop, large volume mailers will have to be able to optimize their mail to receive the best possible terms. In order to meet the requirements of this market and take advantage of potential cost savings it is necessary to consider changes to the company’s information distribution process.
Software providers must seek to encompass the needs of all stakeholders involved in the distribution process or they will fail.
Regardless of input format the mailing volumes must not only be split, sorted and
bundled to the requirements of the delivery partners involved, it must also conform to the requirement of the print shop, which may, or may not have explicit splitting requirements.
As the postal market is transgressing from a national to an international pan-European market, software providers must be able encompass the requirements of any delivery partner on this market.
By offering an enterprise level platform that encompasses the needs of all identified stakeholders in the mail distribution chain, Firstmile Technologies enables each and every identified stakeholder to capitalize on the postal market of today, as well as the one of tomorrow.
