Pitney Bowes Inc. (NYSE: PBI) today launched pbSmartPostage™,
the industry’s first mailing and shipping service that uses cloud
technology to enable businesses to apply postage to letters and
shipping labels and packages directly from any PC with an Internet
connection. Businesses with smaller volume shipping needs and
remote locations will benefit from this flexible mailing and
shipping solution. The introduction of pbSmartPostage™ is the first
in a series of solutions in the pbSmart family of on demand
products the company is developing to enable businesses to more
effectively communicate with their customers in an increasing
mobile world.
"In today’s increasingly agile and mobile world, our customers
need to be able to communicate with their customers through a
variety of channels using solutions that are available anywhere,
anytime and on demand.” said Patrick Brand, President, Pitney Bowes
North America Mailing. "pbSmartPostage is one of several new
cloud-based customer communications management (CCM) solutions that
we are excited to bring to market in the coming months.”
pbSmartPostage™ enables businesses of all sizes to print postage
and shipping labels from any PC, without the inconvenience of
software downloads. This delivers a unique level of flexibility for
agile office workers, branch offices and occasional mailers and
shippers not available before along with significant cost savings
from the ability to access shipping discounts of up to 10%. And
with Pitney Bowes Total Postage Management (TPM) analytics and
reporting capabilities, customers can better track and control
their entire postage spend.
As the trend in package shipping grows and the Internet Postage
market expands to nearly 600,000 customers, the new Pitney Bowes
cloud-based postage offering helps customers simplify shipping with
the capability of printing a stamp, address label and tracking
number in one easy step from any location using any PC with an
Internet connection. Additionally, the need for IT involvement is
eliminated as there is no downloading of software unlike online
postage services offered by other companies.
Brand adds, “One size does not fit all customers and
applications. Our customers have told us loud and clear that they
see tremendous value in adding pbSmartPostage™ capabilities to
their existing Pitney Bowes advanced mailing systems. And with the
launch of pbSmartPostage™, Pitney Bowes is uniquely positioned as
the only CCM solutions provider that addresses the full range of
customer needs.”
