Automate Your PostalOne! Activities with MD Service Manager
In this economy it is more important than ever to constantly look for ways to save time and money while getting your job done. If you are using the PostalOne! system to upload your Mail.dat files, Window Book’s exciting new MD Service Manager will automate the monitoring of your PostalOne! upload and receipt files – and will make your job easier by efficiently processing your PostalOne! transmissions. So, whether you process just a few files a day - or hundreds of files a day – start 2012 out right by scheduling a customized presentation of MD Service Manager, and see how it will help you!
The way things are right now, you manually upload your files to PostalOne! using the interactive MDR Client system – and are then left to monitor their screen in order to track the successes and failures. Don’t waste this valuable time anymore! Let MD Service Manager do all the uploading and monitoring for you automatically. This tool interfaces with the PostalOne! MDR Client system in “batch mode” to push your files up to PostalOne!, monitor the log files and status receipts and organize all of this data by Job for you. You are now free to take care of the other important tasks on your schedule!
Check out what else MD Service Manager can do:
-
Configurable to monitor USPS Production, TEM or CAT environments
-
Configurable to start the PostalOne! Mail.dat Client upon start-up
-
Alerts the operator when the PostalOne! Mail.dat Client needs to be updated
-
Monitors log files and organizes them by Job
-
Statuses can be viewed at the Mail.dat file level as well as the statement level
-
Detects when the PostalOne! Mail.dat Client shuts down and then restarts it
Once you install and configure MD Service Manager in your system you don’t have to constantly open the PostalOne! MDR Client – set it and forget it! And if you want us to install and configure it for you, just ask us!

Why the USPS is Pushing for eDoc
Did you know that just a scant 5 years ago, there were over 14 million postage statements
hand-entered by the Postal Service? This kind of intensive manual labor cost them millions of dollars every year just for the data entry efforts alone – not to mention the additional time and money it cost them because of the all the information incorrectly entered into their systems.
As part of the Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act (PAEA) of 2006, the Postal Service was required to become “SOX-compliant” by the end of 2010. This means they had to make a number of systemic changes in order to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. More specifically, they had to change how they accepted and recorded data about their customers, their customers’ mail and the postage paid for that mail. They could no longer accept and process all the hardcopy and manually-altered postage statements they had been accepting for years. In making these changes, they turned to their PostalOne! system as a means for mailers to submit electronic data and documentation about their mailings and their payments....

DAT-MAIL Prep™ - Save tons of processing time with your Mail.dat files
Do you use Mail.dat files to communicate mailing information electronically with the United States Postal Service® (USPS® ) and your partners? Then, you must know how critical it is to be able to configure the Mail.dat data – view, validate, edit, split, merge, convert – quickly and efficiently to meet production and delivery deadlines.
If you don’t have the right tools, it can be very time consuming to import and validate your Mail.dat data; sometimes you even have to re-start your import every time you encounter a validation error - and it can take a very long time to process these files.
