Focus on folder/inserters: is your business ready for the latest automations?
OfficeSolutions

As your business grows, you may find your outgoing mail volume growing as well. Unless you're already automated, you're probably finding the time-consuming and tedious process of manually folding and stuffing envelopes with monthly invoices, direct marketing pieces, and customer correspondence is taking valuable employees away from more important jobs. When this happens, it's time to think about automating these tasks with a folder/inserter system, freeing employees to focus on more skills-oriented tasks.

But how do you know if your mail volume is worth the price of the machine versus the cost of the labor it now takes to process your mail by hand? Twenty-year veteran of high-tech business development and president of FP Mailing Solutions Larry Turner advises taking the time to calculate how many documents you mail out on a monthly or quarterly basis. Other considerations are envelope sizes, the volume and complexity of your document applications, whether you have cyclical or seasonal jobs, and staffing issues. With this information in hand, you are ready to begin talking to vendors and resellers who can help determine the right folder/inserter for you.
