CASS

We use postal software to validate, correct, and standardize our customer’s data. Our software uses an API that goes beyond CASS certification. The software is the leading postal and pre-sort provider for the past 40 years ensuring our customers the very best in industry standards and staying compliant with USPS regulations.

DELIVERY POINT VALIDATION (DPV)

We also provide the next level of address validation through Delivery Point Validation (DPV) offering. DPV is a USPS-based system that enables us to verify that an address actually exists. DPV validates the existence of both the primary and secondary address number, and can determine whether an address is a Commercial Mail Receiving Agent, housing private mail boxes at a distribution location.

NCOALINK

NCOALink is a product developed, maintained, and distributed by the USPS for the purpose of updating new addresses for consumers who have moved recently. Our postal software maintains a USPS License to provide Move Update services.

By updating just before mailing, you are assured you are mailing to the most up to date addresses and we provide you with reporting that allows you to update your database.

NCOALink can also be used to identify some pieces that should be suppressed for a cost savings. These include individuals who moved, but their forwarding information was not made available to the USPS. This means that when your project is actually mailed, you are not mailing to addresses that will not be delivered. NCOA or other authorized USPS approved move update service is required for automation mailings.

POSTAL PRESORT

Once the mail file has been cleansed it is ready for presorting, which is the backbone of our postal software used to maximize postal discounts on every class of US Mail, and the software is PAVE Gold-certified in every single category.

The software is comprehensive mail preparation software solution that is PAVE-certified by the USPS. It sorts mailing lists according to USPS standards for every class (First-Class, Periodicals, Standard and Package Services) and type of mail (letters, flats and parcels) at all allowable levels.

For Drop Ship mail (PVDS 8125), we employ the services of specialized contractors who ensure uniform mail entry into the postal stream, regardless of the addressed geographic location.

MERGE/PURGE

If requested our software also capable of providing Merge/Purge Service used to eliminate duplicate client data. Merge/Purge can be run on the basis of Individual, Household, Company, or Family Surname.

ADDRESSING / PERSONALIZATION

Variable Data Printing • Laser Printing • Inkjet Addressing

MAIL TRACKING

Postal software also provides mail tracking codes that are created when presort is processed. This helps you keep your mail campaigns under control. You will know when pieces are reaching homes so any follow-up e-mail or telemarketing can be planned. Or, just use the tracking as reassurance that your mailing is reaching the targeted audience as planned.

ON-DEMAND VARIABLE DATA PRINTING

Variable sheet fed digital printing. It allows us to produce highly customized communications.

We understand how to execute sophisticated programs that require intense control of variable elements. Our digital press fleet has a scalable RIP architecture, which ensures that the presses are never waiting, even for the most complex variable data projects. We routinely process VDP projects with tens of thousands of variables and also have the ability to support page exceptions so that you can incorporate multiple paper types or thicknesses in the same project.

LASER PERSONALIZATION

Our cut sheet laser printers allow for custom letters, statements and other products that require B&W variable copy.
