Intelligent Mail eDocs with PostalOne!®

The USPS® is embarking on a major effort to improve the way postage and presort information is presented to them. The PostalOne!® system allows mailers to submit postage payment and presort information electronically for greater efficiency and accuracy. There are three ways to use PostalOne!®; Mail.dat®, Web Services, and Postage Statement Wizard®.

PostalOne!® will link your mailing information electronically with Postal Service™ in order to expedite acceptance, verify payment systems, and eliminate paperwork. It also provides information mailers can utilize to manage their businesses more efficiently. In 2007 there were over 14 million postage statements entered by hand by the USPS. This data could be easily, accurately, and much more cost effectively entered via electronic submission of the postal data through one of the PostalOne!® options.

How you can benefit from PostalOne!®

What are the Requirements?
All you need is internet access, and the ability to transmit the information about what you are mailing. To use Mail.dat® upload, you need to have presort software that can produce a Mail.dat® file set. The ability to be able to edit and update Mail.dat® files becomes critical. For Web Services you need the postal data to be transmitted in a XML format. The Postage Statement Wizard® is mainly for mailings that are not presorted, less than 10,000 pieces, and require no supporting documentation for postal acceptance.
