Digital mailroom outsourcing services is one of the many solutions that we offer our clients at Octacom. While our production facilities are located within Canada, what many potential clients do not realize is that we have a network of scanning partners throughout the United States and in other countries as well, such as India.
Leveraging our trusted network, we are able to offer digital mailroom services internationally to meet the needs of our many clients operating globally.
What is a digital mailroom?
While more and more communication is being delivered electronically, companies do still continue to receive paper mail, the volume of which can vary significantly. Furthermore, legislation may require an option for customers to communicate with certain service providers via traditional paper mail, which means this method of communication is likely to continue into the near future for enterprises operating within those industries. At Octacom, we receive a variety of mail on behalf of our clients including invoices, claims, sweepstakes, rebates, onboarding documents, contracts, delivery tickets (BOLs / waybills), and more.
Implementing a digital mailroom partnership with Octacom can include any or all of the following services:
PO Box management and daily servicing via courier
Strict chain of custody controls from the post office to our warehouses (or the warehouses of our scanning partners) for processing
Exceptions management which includes disregarding junk mail / flyers and forwarding certain items such as cheques back to our clients
Document preparation for digitization including removal of fasteners, repairs of small tears, etc.
High quality scanning in colour or black and white, with the option to leverage Optical Character Recognition to generate high resolution searchable files
Optional data capture services where Octacom identifies various data points associated with each piece of mail (i.e. customer name, physical mail attributes, dates, etc.)
File naming based on configurable business rules as determined on a client-by-client basis
Output of digital files to the client through various forms of transmission including upload to Odiss, Secure File Transfer Protocol, and more
