Taking Charge of Mailroom Needs in 2024

We’ve all flipped our calendars and rolled into a new year with new opportunities ahead in 2022. Along with these new opportunities, we will without a doubt have to tackle new and old challenges. Finding simple solutions that fit our environments and serve our needs is a priority for all of us. None of us want to create more complexity for ourselves!

Dealing with physical mail and packages

Like it or not, physical mail and packages are still present in nearly every organization and must be dealt with. Paper mail does and will continue to serve a purpose, and many are experiencing higher package volumes than ever before.

However, the reality of managing physical mail and packages and maintaining associated security and delivery time policies is often a challenge for mailrooms.

Be assured that layered in amongst the junk mail lies critical communications that require the attention of the members of your organization. Ignoring a stack of mail is bound to cause pertinent information to fall between the cracks or, at best, delay a response, causing a negative impact as the message is left unanswered for too long.

Likewise, recipients demand prompt notification of package arrivals, so having a speedy and efficient process for managing these items is critical.

Consequences of outdated mailroom processes

Lost, misplaced, and misrouted mail and packages breed daily contention. Delayed pickups give rise to crowded mailrooms that steal the time of the mailroom operators as they attempt to figure out where to put the mounting pile and how to organize it. The receiving and distributing of the physical channel of mail has become cumbersome and inefficient, especially with so many employees working from outside of the office these days.

The mishandling of physical mail comes with serious consequences. Outdated mailroom processes fail to support company growth and customer satisfaction requirements and actually increase costs with inefficient handling and transporting of inbound items. Additionally, these outdated processes add to the lack of control and missed timelines. Falling short of evolving expectations creates frustrations for operators and recipients alike.
