How will you prove that your mailing went out with the new Intelligent Mail eDocs initiative?

The infamous Red Round Stamp you've become so accustomed to as "proof of mailing" to your clients will soon become a thing of the past. With the induction of eDocs for sending your mailing information in an electronic format to the USPS, how will you easily obtain that "proof of mailing"?

Mailers will be required to transmit Postage Statements electronically via PostalOne! to participate in Intelligent Mail Full Service. What does this mean to you? It means you will no longer be submitting hard copies of Postage Statements and getting a physical Red Round Stamp marked on your documents as verification from the Postal Service.

Window Book, Inc. realizes that it is crucial for mailers to be able to continue to receive a Round Stamp on their Postage Statement receipts during the transition of eDocs. The final Postage Statements are used in-house and also sent to their clients - providing critical mailing information including Mailing Date and Postage amounts. This Postage Statement receipt is one of the ways a mailer can prove to their clients that the mailing was accepted by the Postal Service and postage funds were deducted. In addition, these Postage Statements can be used as back up information to prove their mailing activities in the event of an audit.

Would you like to provide your clients with a PDF or hard copy postage statement displaying an Electronic Round Stamp detailing the PostalOne! assigned Mailing Group ID# and PS# that corresponds to their final verified mailing? Do you think your clients would welcome and appreciate this data when they login to PostalOne! and can find that corresponding mailing instantly?

Mailers must investigate their current mailing system and make sure their software will allow them to use PostalOne! to transmit electronic mailing documents AND postage statements AND have an electronic round stamp generated on those verified statements. An ideal system should support both Mail.XML and Mail.dat files for transmitting mailing data to PostalOne!. It should be able to maintain a database of all mailing activities by client, job and permit to ensure a complete backup of data exists to what has been submitted to PostalOne!

We can provide those assurances to Mailers and Mail Owners with DAT-MAIL™ - the complete system for Intelligent Mail.
