Intelligent Mail Barcode Implementation Services

Transition from POSTNET™ to Intelligent Mail by May 2011 using InfoPrint Intelligent Mail barcode implementation services that enable you to comply with USPS Basic or Full Service.

The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) is requiring mailers to replace the POSTNETTM barcode with the Intelligent Mail® barcode by May 2011. You can comply by implementing USPS Basic Service or USPS Full Service.

InfoPrint’s Intelligent Mail implementation options can help you:

• Maximize postal discounts and reduce costs:
  InfoPrint has offerings designed to improve your workflow efficiency and maximize sort densities. Postal discounts associated with USPS Full Service can be taken starting November 2009, allowing high-volume mailers to benefit sooner.
• Minimize the impact to resources:
  InfoPrint solutions are implemented centrally and downstream from print-generating application sources, so you can expedite implementation without changing original applications.
• Manage communication strategies:
  Utilize InfoPrint Postal Services Manager to access advanced USPS services such as Destination Confirm and Origin Confirm to help manage communication strategies.

Intelligent Mail Barcode Implementation Services

Transition from POSTNET™ to Intelligent Mail by May 2011 using InfoPrint Intelligent Mail barcode implementation services that enable you to comply with USPS Basic or Full Service.

1. Basic Service with AFP Visual Environment

For environments without an InfoPrint Automated Document Factory, Basic Service can be achieved with the InfoPrint Advanced Function Presentation™ (AFP™) Visual Environment software utility. This easy-to-use utility performs AFP file indexing, and it can replace existing POSTNET barcodes or generate an Intelligent Mail barcode based on existing Tagged Logical Elements (TLEs). AFP Visual Environment can also create, modify or delete machine and human-readable production marks, allowing your operation to accommodate changing requirements.

2. Basic or Full Service with an InfoPrint Automated Document Factory solution

InfoPrint Postal Optimization Automated Document Factory (ADF) solutions for Intelligent Mail are designed to be right-sized for your business needs today — and easily expandable for your needs in the future. In addition to Basic or Full Service Intelligent Mail compliance, you can receive the benefits of an ADF and automated workflow, including reduced costs, strong reporting capabilities, and a single point of control over your entire production system.

3. Advanced capabilities with InfoPrint Postal Services Manager

InfoPrint Postal Services Manager, an optional component of InfoPrint’s Postal Optimization ADF Solution, interfaces with Destination Confirm, Origin Confirm and Address Change Services. InfoPrint Postal Services Manager captures information received from the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) about sent mail, reply mail, change of address (COA) and undeliverable as addressed (UAA) mail.

With this critical intelligence, you can plan marketing and cash flow activities related to mail piece status. For example, collection calls can be cancelled if a remit envelope is detected in the mail stream, or a multi-touch marketing campaign can be coordinated with the approximate delivery time of a direct mail piece.
