Reasons To Use A Franking Machine In 2020

When using a franking machine to pay for postage and to send your mail, businesses have been and will continue to gain access to a range of added benefits during 2020. Businesses work tirelessly hard to control costs in a variety of possible ways such as negotiating loyalty discounts with suppliers. By using a franking machine instead of the traditional method of using stamps, businesses can benefit from the best pricing rates available.

However the past few months have proven difficult to us all. Offices have been closed and businesses have had to adapt so that they can manage all outbound mail without the use of their usual mail room equipment. With more and more businesses now opening their doors again, we wanted to inform you of how using a franking machine, even during these tough times, can prove beneficial still to your business.

Preventing unauthorised use

Control your franking machine via a PIN code, eliminating any risk of unauthorised personnel using the franking machine.

Tracking postage expenses

Postage spend on the franking machine can be tracked and controlled with bigger ease. When spend occurs, you will be able to see by department what they have specifically franked. This means that if any company policies are being breached, it can be addressed and actions can be taken.

Reduce undelivered mail

Sending invoices to the wrong address means items will not be paid. Sending marketing campaigns to the wrong address means spend is wasted. Franking machines can be used to add a company return address on to every mail item you frank and send. This means undelivered mail will make its way back to you and mailing databases can be updated.
