--- title: "Introducing Stamps Analytics: See Where Every Dollar Goes " url: "https://www.stamps.com/article/introducing-stamps-analytics/" type: "post" modified: "2026-11-13T21:13:20+00:00" --- It’s the end of the month. You open your sending history, export it to a spreadsheet, and start slicing. Spend by carrier. Prints by location. Which service is quietly costing you the most. An hour later, you have your answer, and next month you’ll do it all again. Printing labels is the easy part. Understanding what all those labels add up to is where the time goes. [Stamps Analytics](https://www.stamps.com/shipping/analytics/) changes that. Four built-in dashboards show your sending and mailing activity clearly, so you can spend less time wrangling data and more time acting on it. The problem: your answers live somewhere else --------------------------------------------- For higher-volume printers, sending data is a business input, not a byproduct. You use it to track costs, check how your team is performing, and keep accounting current. But the data lives in one place, and the answers live in another. So you export. You pull a CSV, drop it into a spreadsheet or a BI tool, and build the views yourself. Some of you might send the numbers to a bookkeeper. Some of you might retype figures from screen to sheet because your other systems can’t take them directly. If you run more than one location, you do it all again for each. The routine works, but it’s repetitive, and every hour spent reshaping data is an hour not spent using it. Worse, if a report doesn’t tell you what it means or what to do next, even a perfectly built spreadsheet only gets you halfway. Introducing Stamps Analytics ----------------------------- [Stamps Analytics](https://www.stamps.com/shipping/analytics/) is a new tab in the Stamps web app, right in your header navigation next to History. Open it and you’ll find four dashboards built around the questions printers ask most: - **Overview:** total prints, spend, average price per print, and savings, plus charts for prints over time and savings by type. - **Print Volume:** prints by type, carrier, service, region, and location, with delivery and transit breakdowns. - **Expenses:** cost by carrier, service, cost code, and location, plus transaction and expense history tables. - **Location Insights (for Multi-Location plans):** print volume trends, total cost comparisons across branch locations, and user performance tables ranked by expense. Additionally, filter information within tabs by date, carrier, service, location, and user (where applicable), and export your data where available. The views you used to build by hand are now the ones you open. **Coming soon: an AI assistant built into Analytics.** Soon, you’ll be able to ask about a specific data point or spot optimization opportunities in your trends, without leaving the dashboards. The business case: from exporting to deciding ---------------------------------------------- **Get your time back.** The dashboards surface your costs, volume, and savings natively. That cuts the manual spreadsheet work you do today, and it means the month-end routine starts with an answer instead of a blank sheet. **See what sending really costs.** The Expenses dashboard breaks spend down by carrier, service, cost code, and location. The Overview dashboard puts spend, average price per print, and savings side by side. You’ll know where your money goes, and what Stamps is saving you, at a glance. **Spot trends before they surprise you.** Overview charts your prints over time and your savings by type, and Print Volume breaks activity down by type, carrier, service, and region. You can see what’s growing, what’s slowing, and where your volume is heading without building a pivot table. **Coming soon: keep teams and locations accountable.** For businesses with multiple locations, Location Insights will compare volume and cost across locations and rank user performance by expense, so you can see who is printing what, and where, without asking anyone for a report. It arrives with Multi-Location plan support, which is coming soon. **Why you can trust what you see:** - Four purpose-built dashboards: Overview, Print Volume, Expenses, and Location Insights (for Multi-Location Plans). - Cost breakdowns, print volume trends, and savings are surfaced natively, with no manual spreadsheet work required. In practice: month-end for a growing online store ------------------------------------------------- Picture an operations manager at a growing online store. Every month, she exports the sending history, builds a spreadsheet, and writes up a summary for the owner and the bookkeeper. It takes a chunk of her afternoon, and by the time it’s done, the numbers are already a few weeks old. Now she opens the Analytics tab. Overview shows total prints, spend, average price per print, and savings in one place. In Expenses, she sorts spend by cost code and hands the bookkeeper exactly the breakdown they asked for. Same questions. Same business. No export-and-rebuild. (This scenario is an illustration of the workflow, not a customer case study.) And for businesses with several locations, Location Insights will bring the same clarity across sites, with volume trends, cost comparisons by location, and per-user performance in one view. It’s coming soon, with Multi-Location plan support. Ready to see your sending clearly? ---------------------------------- [Stamps Analytics](https://www.stamps.com/shipping/analytics/) is live on the Ecommerce and Professional plans with release on Multi-Location plans coming soon. If you’re on another plan, you’ll see an upgrade prompt inside the app that links straight to plan comparison, so you can see what unlocking Analytics takes. You already print the labels. Now see what they add up to. [Compare plans and unlock Stamps Analytics](https://registration.stamps.com/registration/).
