The Signiﬁcant Advantages of iMCM G2 iMCM G2 provides implementation of carrier services for all international shipping, while meeting all customer shipping and document requirements. The software prepares and prints required customs documentation, forms and labels for FedEx, DHL and UPS. It provides instant online access to USPS, FedEx, UPS, DHL/Airborne for tracking and delivery status. Multiple shipper number capability provides support for complete company identities, allowing the shipper to process for multiple divisions, clients or customers. It creates a separate return address and discrete billing based on carrier account numbers, saving accounting time and increasing accuracy, and is indispensable for separate entity support to third-party logistics providers (3PLs). iMCM G2 provides a graphical, calendar-based picture of delivery dates and rates, so users pick the right rate every time, and offers more options and better routing choices that result in less wasted time researching to ﬁnd the best method of shipment. The reliable iMCM G2 is easy to use, and unlike competitive software programs, has a built-in protocol that keeps you in compliance by automatically updating changes in carrier rates, fees, surcharges and shipping rules. Based on a single user interface that lets you link to and use all your carriers, iMCM G2 can issue valuable reports that outline the mailing activities of your internal departments, and offers you the best value for delivering mail to your recipients, especially under the new SBP postal rates. Mailers hoping to take advantage of ways to reduce costs under the SBP initiative must educate themselves regarding the new rate calculation requirements. Some of these cost-cutting steps include better planning and consolidating of mailpieces and selecting the proper and most cost-effective envelope sizes to take advantage of smaller size cost reductions. Others include utilizing mail management software like iMCM G2 and more cost-effective mailing equipment like dynamic weighing platforms, efﬁcient folder/inserters, address printers and other automated equipment. The USPS has introduced a number of important changes to the way mail is processed, along with a corresponding increase in costs. These developments will surely impact almost everyone who generates mail. Yet, it’s important to recognize the many opportunities that come with these changes. It is now critical that mail center operators work closely with their equipment vendors to identify ways to better use their resources and organize their mailings. This process of discovery will no doubt unearth new ways to save time and money in the mail center. John Grogan is Vice President, Marketing for Hasler, Inc.
