Case Study
Digital Mailroom
Details
Industry: Sweepstakes
A sweepstakes company was receiving over 700,000 envelopes each month. Their ability to process the envelopes was becoming difficult and using up valuable time and resources. Recordsforce was able to create a digital mailroom solution that eliminated their increased influx of envelope processing and delivered their digital mail right into their systems. As a result, the company was able to free up office space, reduce operating costs and accelerate data delivery.
Analyzing The Problem
Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, a sweepstakes company was receiving approximately 30,000 envelopes each month for one of their promotions. When the company started to work remotely due to the pandemic, that number ballooned and has held steady at over 700,000 envelopes each month. As the level of incoming mail increased, it became extremely difficult for the company to maintain this promotion that had become a huge success for the organization. They were having to use valuable resources just to sort and process the incoming envelopes. Their current process meant that multiple people were needed to sort the envelopes, open the mail and then distribute to the forms to the correct person in the organization. They were losing out on office space and increasing costs by not outsourcing their mailroom operations.
Creating A Customized Solution
Recordsforce’s solution to this company’s challenge was to create a digital mailroom solution. The sweepstakes envelopes are now sent directly to our secure, SOC II compliant facility, and with combination of our PACE system, their mail is processed safely, quickly and accurately. The process is as follows:
- Recordsforce collects an average of 700,000 envelopes each month.
2. The envelopes are opened, sorted, prepped and then scanned through our high-speed IBML scanner.
