Presort and Post-Presort software: the differences, and how they work together

Presort software focuses on address verification, address quality, and mail sortation.

Post-Presort software specializes in complete data management and flexibility, including the ability to make last minute real-time changes to your mailing data. Create USPS® Mailing documentation that matches the mailing, instead of trying to match your mailing to the paperwork!

• Address verification
• Address management (Move updates, Address Correction Service, etc.)
• Address standardization
• Application of USPS regulations in order to claim discounted postage
• Address de-dupe (remove duplicates)
• Sortation level qualification of mail
• Presort mailing data output to Mail.dat format

• Utilize presort Mail.dat® output
• Mailing statement creation/retention flexibility
• Ability to update piece weight and ad percentage as final
• Transportation and Drop Ship discount optimization (without changing production values or “breaking” the original presort)
• Simplified mail verification and acceptance by the USPS (with many options)
• Enhanced relationship with USPS (standardized documentation)
• USPS optional service add-ons (Manifest Mailing, Confirm, FAST, PostalOne!®)
• Gold mine of retained mailing data for reporting, both internal and external
• Sophisticated Postage Accounting options
• “Bridge” to communicate with current/future internal systems (Business Management system interfaces, ODBC connect)

All of these items listed above can be achieved by using DAT-MAIL in conjunction with your presort software.
