Pitney Bowes Postage Meters Become Streamlined In The New Shipstream™

Any small to medium-sized business can gain from an improvement in its efficiency and postage meters are a wonderful way for this to be accomplished. Pitney Bowes, the leader in postage meters and other postal equipment for years, has released its new, streamlined ShipStreamâ„¢ that allows business to weigh packages, buy postage online, and watch shipments and expenses all from the comfort of the office.

The Pitney Bowes ShipStreamâ„¢ is a software program that runs on Windows based computers and comes with a 10 pound scale that connects directly to the USB port of the computer. A bigger 30 pound scale is also available for an extra fee and connects to the wall outlet. These postage meters promote an incredible and powerful ability to monitor shipments around the country, as well as track costs within the business.

For businesses that produce a fair amount of packages, whether shipping orders to consumers or products to distributors, the Pitney Bowes ShipStreamâ„¢ helps make the system much easier. By having a postage meter within the office, a business owner will no longer have to send employees to the post office on a consistent, and often daily, basis, which is one way to hurt productivity. The traffic and fuel to drive back and forth to the post office is one aspect, as are the often long lines awaiting once inside the post office.

Being able to simply set the package on the scale and entering the destination address, or zip code, the ShipStreamâ„¢ connects through the Internet to calculate precisely how much the package will cost to ship. Then all the business operator would have to do is print the postage, affix it to the package and have the mailman collect it on his or her daily route.

Postage meters like the ShipStreamâ„¢ also allow businesses to track their shipments so that if a customer inquires about its expected delivery time, the business will no longer have to direct them to the post office, which is an added frustration for many consumers. The business can simply log on and track it and tell the client right then and there. Boosting customer service leads to the increased possibility of return business as well as referrals.

But postage meters from Pitney Bowes aren't relegated to simply saving time and elevating customer service. A business owner can readily track their shipping costs on a weekly or monthly schedule. By doing this, he or she can determine whether there are any areas that can be modernized further. The Pitney Bowes ShipStreamâ„¢ postage meter system is a wonderful tool for any business that produces a fair amount of packages on a regular basis.

This postage meter system also allows the business owner to print postage labels without the precise amount the postage cost. Why would this be helpful or advantageous? For many businesses, figuring postage rates can be a tricky business and dependant on where the buyer lives. By calculating a flat rate shipping cost, the business operator can ship anywhere without the concern of a customer feeling as though he or she overpaid for the expense.

The Pitney Bowes ShipStreamâ„¢ offers business many tools to modernize their operations as well as saving time and valuable money.
