Better Manage Spoilage - Stop paying for pieces you did not mail

Virtually any mailing operation will at some point encounter situations where mailpieces are damaged, spoiled, or otherwise rendered unmailable, or there may be situations where there is a shortage of some or all of the mailpiece components. In either case, the actual mailing may end up to be smaller in quantity than originally planned. You don't need to pay postage for those spoiled or shorted mailpieces.

If you do already have an in-house system to manage spoilage, is it integrated with your mailing software? DAT-MAIL post-presort software can help you easily manage spoilages or shortages, generate accurate mailing documentation, and avoid having to pay for pieces that did not get mailed. Email postalspecialist@windowbook.com and find out how you can better manage spoilage and start saving money.
