POSTING, FILING AND POST BOOK – DONE!
Administration of paper based documents is still an inescapable task of daily operations. Filing incoming postal mails and sending letters are both time and resource consuming activities which therefore may decrease organizational efficiency. We believe that a posting and post book solution shall not only resolve these tasks, but go beyond and manage all related business processes comprehensively. Only this way can software based operations support be complete.

Based on certain legislation requirements and internal policies, some documents must be recorded in the post book. Usually – should a mailer be available at the company – appointed colleagues are responsible for this task. Traditional post books bare a fixed data content, limiting the usage of the post book. xFLOWer’s electronic post book delivers much more. We believe that the post book is not an isolated „compulsory” administrative task, but a part of more complex business processes which may have significant impact on the business.
Therefore, filling the post book is a significant part of the operations, and so is the delivery of the related processes. In xFLOWer everything is done within business processes, hence filling the post book is also a part of certain processes. Based on that, filling the post book may start a number of different business processes – with tailored steps, in most cases automatically. Therefore, administration becomes easier and less stressful, as the module completes a number of tasks previously done by administrative colleagues. Besides, it is not possible to erroneously forward a letter and the module also ensures that all related administrational tasks are done in a timely manner and with accurate completion.
xFLOWer makes post book recording easier. The system is able to complete all posting related documents and forms from the customer or partner database (such as: Dispatch, Return Receipt, Attorney mail receipt, From Contacts, dispatch sheet...) It goes without saying that there is the possibility to define as many different forms and templates as you need during the implementation period, so the completion of checks, lists, summaries, statements and other documents can be resolved too. The module performs daily closing, check summaries or price calculations as needed.
Addressing the envelopes can be done using data from customer, partner or even employee databases automatically, depending on the letter type. xFLOWer – thanks to its advanced integration abilities – can retrieve such data from different IT systems too, and use them for posting purposes. xFLOWer’s posting and post book module contains current national postal fees and payment rules. However, all these data can be changed during implementation as needed, should your company receive special discounts or differently priced mail delivery methods. Therefore, posting processes are made simpler:
