Challenge

In the medical field, the exchange of information must be efficient. U.S. HealthWorks Medical Group used postage meters to process and send the company’s mail.

As company’s Purchasing department evaluated efficiency issues within the organization, they found that postage meters were a time liability. Feeding mail through the bulky meters slowed productivity, the certified mail process was inefficient, and using the phone to add postage had become a tedious, time-consuming task. “We send out approximately 100 envelopes a week, and adding postage to the meter was such an archaic process,” said Center Manager Lynn Stephens.

Solution

To address the issues they faced with postage meters, the Purchasing department evaluated the Stamps.com Enterprise as a replacement. Throughout the evaluation process, end users noted that the software solution would allow employees to easily add and print postage online using their existing computers and printers. The advanced reporting features would give management unprecedented visibility and control over mailing expenses across the entire network of medical centers.

Most importantly, the company stood to save a lot of money by eliminating the postage meters and accompanying long-term leases, expensive inks and additional fees.
