At the customer event, the Company’s latest innovations will be on display including:

• Pitney Bowes’s growing family of IntelliJet™ Printing Systems with faster print speeds and new mail finishing options printing a White Paper Factory™ application. 

• The Mailstream Wrapper™ next generation mail finishing system that combines innovative wrapping technology with proven intelligence and speed.  Integrated with the Print+ Messenger in-line printing system, this solution can assemble envelopes and print color messages, logos and addresses in-line during mail finishing to drive unprecedented levels of productivity and operational cost savings.

• The Rival™ Productivity Series inserting system to provide mid-volume transactional mailers with a powerful and cost-efficient solution to process high-value customer communications including both letters and flats.

• A complete line of sorting solutions that can meet the volume and mail spectrum needs of both mid-sized and large mailers who want to reduce their postage costs. These include the Vantage™ Sorting System that maintains consistently high mail sorting throughput for optimizing postage cost.  Also, the Reliant™ Mail Sorter with its compact footprint can help companies with lower mail volumes benefit from increased postal discounts, reduced operating costs and productivity gains.

• The MarketSpace™ Web platform which can help U.S. high-volume transactional mailers connect with third-party advertisers to sell the white space on their statements for targeted advertising opportunities.

• Pitney Bowes’s latest DFWorks® White Paper Factory™ software enables comingled mail piece jobs to be tracked and reported on separately, which is a key requirement for businesses looking to achieve job efficiency and integrity.

• The Production Intelligence® software suite, including output management and automated document factory solutions, which connect all critical print and mail processes into a seamless workflow for greater efficiency and accuracy.
