Through our 237+ years of marketplace intelligence and expertise, we can typically find ways to save you between 30-70% on the cost of your mailing equipment.
Here are the areas of your mail costs that we explore:
National agreements and discounts
Current sales process and how location requirements get defined
“Feature creep” that adds to the equipment costs
Past transactions, renewal processes and purchasing trends
Proactive Asset Management
We dive into the detail of what is going on at your locations to look for ways to reduce costs for the future.
We review the following:
Locations spending more on the equipment than the postage they are using
Locations paying for equipment that has been picked up or may be lost
Expired leases that may be automatically renewing (Evergreen Clauses)
Asset validation to make sure all equipment that you are paying for is being used
National Contract Adherence
We validate that you are getting your company’s agreed-upon corporate discounts and find refund opportunities in the following areas:
Equipment Purchases
Monthly Leases
Meter Rentals
Maintenance and Rate Change Agreements
Supply Invoices
Billing Simplification
We find avoidable fees where you may be entitled to refunds or savings; and streamline your equipment costs for the future. These include:
Service and rate change invoices that should have been covered under equipment agreements
Locations paying unneeded equipment insurance and loyalty programs
Invoices with late fees and finance charges that can be as high as 20% of the cost of postage
Examining the accounts payable process to pay for postage and equipment to streamline for the future
Lost Funds Recovery
With mergers, acquisitions, office closings etc., your funds can get misplaced or forgotten without your knowledge. We discover where and how these funds were lost. We then create and implement a plan to recover them. For example, you may be paying for:
Postage and equipment credits residing at your mailing vendors from closed or dormant locations
Permit and Business Reply Accounts held at the USPS® in inactive accounts
Lost funds (Mail and Non-Mail) that have been turned over to the states as unclaimed property
As the only mail audit and recovery firm in the US and Canada, we manage a portfolio of over 174,000 pieces of mailing and shipping eqipment for the largest US companies.
