You'll have immediate access to your mailing system data via your PC, with the ability to consolidate it and generate reports based on department and postal usage. You can view data by category, time periods and by USPS mail classes. At a glance, you can see mailing expenses along with a detailed history of mailing preferences and usage. And the low ink alert notification feature helps ensure that you'll never run out of ink again.

Through Online Services, you can utilize USPS Special Services to take advantage of postal discounts. In addition, by tracking postage costs, you can identify other opportunities to lower costs, budget effectively and turn your mailroom into a profit center. And with rate protection, you are shielded from unforeseen expenses and ensured your rates are always up to date during postal rate increases.
