Why this matters
Improving efficiency through
automation matters because the speed
and accuracy with which invoices,
contracts, statements, reminders,
marketing material and other business-
critical mail is processed can have a
have a big impact on everything from
cash flow and new business generation
to the quality of an organisation’s
relationships with customers and
suppliers.
This is especially true today when
most business activities rely on a
combination of digital and paper-
based information. In order to
maximise efficiency, mail processing
must keep up and integrate with
digital workflows: if it takes minutes to
arrange a loan or take out insurance
online, customers won’t be prepared to
wait days for paperwork to arrive.
In the previous chapter we
highlighted how mailing
equipment can help you
save money. That is not their
only function. By automating
repetitive, time-consuming
manual processes, modern mailing
solutions also make it possible to:
