Brown Printing Launches Smart Mail Management Services

WASECA, MN—October 27, 2009—Brown Printing today announced the launch of Smart Mail Management. The new service allows customers to access tracking, reporting and expediting capabilities that keep mail on track.

Brown’s Smart Mail Management utilizes U.S. Postal Service PLANET codes to identify and track each individual mail piece – from the moment it enters the delivery stream until the time it reaches the mail carrier. Leveraging their in-depth understanding of USPS mail processing and direct contacts inside the USPS, Brown can quickly address problems by interacting with appropriate USPS personnel to keep mail moving and on time.

Smart Mail Management ties directly into Brown’s existing B.Direct Customer Portal. Online, intuitive screens supply timely insight and valuable statistics for every mailing. All data in the system can be exported and downloaded in multiple formats, for ongoing delivery analysis.

“Brown’s unrivaled logistics services help our customers effectively control and monitor all aspects of the supply chain” explained Pat Bayer, Director of Brown Logistics Services. “Brown’s Smart Mail Management takes our services a step further, offering customers the most comprehensive tracking and in-home management system in the industry.”
