Mail Management software allows organizations to easily track accountable mail throughout their organization. Accountable mail or packages, like FedEx or UPS, require a signature of receipt from the courier when dropped off at the company mail center. Mail management software automates the capture of the package tracking number upon receipt by the courier and captures the date stamp, time stamp and signature by the final recipient. It creates a searchable chain of custody to ensure accurate and timely delivery of packages

41% of mail rooms process over 1,000 pieces of mail each day


How Mail Management Helps Your Organization

In other words, mail management software helps your internal mail room staff easily receive, track and disperse accountable packages throughout your organization in a timely, efficient manner. 

 Even though the trend is to move away from paper-based communication, your organization still receives packages.  To maintain integrity of the internal delivery cycle, it is imperative to verify and track the date and time of delivery and who received the item. 

 “41% of mail rooms process over 1,000 items each day”, according to Iron Mountain. Yikes, that’s a lot of room for error.
