Features

Re-automate residual mail

ADS provides machine-readable labels for previously non-readable mail pieces or small parcels, which means that these items become machine-processable and can be reintroduced to the automated process.

This significantly reduces the volume of residual mail that needs to be sorted manually. ADS can also be used for different tasks, at different times of the day.

ADS uses:

Resolving addresses and re-automation of items
Indexed sorting with or without labels
Creating forwarding instructions and return-to-sender applications
Revenue protection optionally verify item size or weight against postage to prevent lost revenue from underpaid mail
