How does Mailroom work?

On arrival at the mail-room the incoming mail items, letters, parcels or packages are labelled with a barcode, or the external courier barcode can be used to save time. The items are then booked in against the recipient on the internal mail tracking system PC software using a barcode scanner.

 

Either pre-printed rolls of barcode labels can be supplied or the internal tracking barcode is printed on a desk top printer such as the TSC TTP 247

This can also be supplied as part of the system.

Details of the package contents, reference number, courier, weight, type of item: large letter, box etc, can all be recorded. An optional email can be automatically sent to the recipient to notify them that a mail item has been received for them.

If large quantities of mail are handled a batching system can be used. Bundles of mail items for the same addressee or drop off point are tracked in the same way.

 

 Internal mail delivery personnel are equipped with a hand held terminal which they log on to. They scan each parcel when collecting from the Mailroom and signature capture is used when the mail item is delivered to the recipient for proof-of-delivery. They can also photograph the item in case of damage.

 The hand held terminal application is now available on Android.

We can supply a PDA that will wirelessly connect across an internal WiFi network or GPRS connection for real time update of the delivery tracking system. Or they can be downloaded on return to the post-room for batch updating of the mail tracking software.

If an item of mail is returned to the post room undelivered and no PoD is obtained a failed delivery email can be automatically sent to the recipient.

The process works in reverse for out going mail and parcels that are to be collected form a location in the organisation and taken to the Mailroom for collection by courier or postal service.

If a mail package is lost there is a complete audit trail of all movements of the item from the point it was booked in at the post-room so that it’s last known location can be traced.

Recipients and other staff can track parcels and view reports through the internal parcel tracking web module.
