About Mail Management ∏ ∏ ∏
Q: How can I find out if I’m spending too much money
on my overnight shipping?
A: Many businesses don’t even realize the amount of
money they waste by not choosing the right overnight
carrier. Pitney Bowes’ Carrier Management solutions allow
you to establish business rules, helping you manage
expenses and choose the right carriers based on rates and
delivery times. You can track the flow of incoming mail,
parcels and other accountable items, eliminate manual
logging, speed up delivery to the final destination and
increase productivity and accountability.
Q: Is there a way to consolidate bills from expedited
carriers as well as make sure I never run out of
postage in the middle of a mailing?
A: Yes. Pitney Bowes consolidated billing options give
customers more time to pay a bill, priority telephone
support, ready access to postage and an online payment
option. Customers with multiple locations, who spend time
and money cutting lots of checks for postage, can use a
payment option that lets them electronically cut just one
check from one account—increasing operating efficiency
and controlling costs.
Q: Can I manage my mailing needs and access my
account in one place, 24/7?
A: Just log onto My Account on pb.com. Pitney Bowes’
customers can view their inventory, purchase supplies and
small business products, pay invoices, refill their postage
meter, request equipment service and much more.
Q: How can we get our mail center to a higher level
of productivity?
