Business Wire
Pitney Bowes Inc. (NYSE: PBI) today unveiled the mailstation2™
with pbWebConnect™, the world’s first mailing and shipping system
for the small office that combines the efficiency and speed of the
postage meter with the convenience of online applications. The
all-in-one solution includes access to special USPS® discounts,
delivering everyday cost savings, choice and flexibility easily to
small businesses.
pbWebConnect enables customers to easily save money through the
ability to access special USPS discounts not typically available
through standard metering systems. Customers benefit from up to 15
percent savings on Priority Mail®, 25 percent savings or more on
Express Mail®, and free Delivery Confirmation™ with Priority
Mail.
The mailstation2 with pbWebConnect gives the customer the
ability to manage mail and packages the way that works best for
them, via the postage meter or online. Online features like
printing stamps on demand, applying the correct postage directly
onto envelopes, free address correction, and printing USPS shipping
labels can speed up the process of getting mail, documents and
packages out the door, creating additional efficiencies.
“This innovation demonstrates once again how Pitney Bowes is
leading the evolution of mailing and shipping solutions,” said
Jeffery Crouse, vice president and general manager, small and
medium business, Pitney Bowes. “We are proud to be the first to
introduce a fully web-connected solution to the small business
market. We’ve taken the proven value of the postage meter and
integrated it seamlessly with online postage, creating a digital
mailroom that provides businesses with direct savings in their
mailing and shipping.”
Because the mailstation2 is now network enabled, the meter will
be updated automatically whenever postal rates change. Other
conveniences, such as automatic postage refills and web-based
tools, including address verification, and the ability to track
packages shipped via all major carriers, help to increase
efficiency and reduce hassles. Also, the ability to print QR Codes
on envelopes helps promote business and drive web traffic.
Customers will continue to benefit from many new cost-saving
features that will save time and gas on trips to the Post Office®
and reduce waste by printing exact postage on demand.
pbWebConnect will also provide a gateway for access to a range
of additional applications, including the full pbSmart™ suite of
digital products, and new Pitney Bowes solutions that help small
businesses grow through multi-channel customer communications.
Pitney Bowes Small Office solutions are designed to help
businesses create, produce, deliver and measure their own customer
communications in more customized and personalized, yet affordable
ways. Pitney Bowes small business products and services can be
