Mailing Systems Technology - November/December 2008 - (Page 35) PRODUCT APPLICATION PITNEY BOWES Olympus II Multi Tier Sorter The Olympus II Multi Tier Sorter processes outgoing mail to help high-volume mailers and presort service bureaus realize the maximum USPS presort postage discount available for their mailstream. With best-inclass Multi-Line Optical Character Reader (MLOCR) technology for both machineprint and handwritten pieces, superior mail handling capabilities that gently process each envelope and positive piece level tracking all the way to the pocket, the Olympus II Multi Tier Sorter allows mailers to prepare more mail for delivery, faster and with greater integrity. The Olympus II Multi Tier also meets all USPS guidelines with Intelligent Mail Barcode capabilities, builtin barcode quality evaluation tools to help ensure strict compliance to USPS MERLIN standards and mail.dat file capabilities for quicker mail submission through the USPS Seamless Acceptance program. All of this translates into higher acceptance rates and lower postage costs. For added efficiency, IntelliScheme software can process mailstream print data in advance to create a sort scheme that finalizes a higher percent of mail on the very first pass. Localized tray tag printers, LCD displays, built-in and online remote diagnostics, integrated inkjet printing, in-line labeling and an intelligent tray management system work together to increase uptime and productivity. The Olympus II Multi Tier Sorter can be configured to accommodate unique business needs. It’s easily expandable, so its capacity grows right along with letter processing needs (up to 480 pockets). Other Olympus II configurations include a singletier pocket configuration with optional chutes for letter and flat mail processing (up to 160 pockets). Pitney Bowes Olympus II Multi Tier Sorter automates outbound and inbound mail processing necessary for USPS presort postage discounts with greater efficiency and effectiveness. With the Olympus II Multi Tier Sorter, high-volume mailers can expand their services to include pre-sorting of mail to maximize USPS postage discounts. Since 1982, employee-owned Renkim Corporation has specialized in the print and mail production of mission-critical documents. Almost all of the communications they send are time-sensitive, with most mailings on a 24-hour schedule from start to finish. By commingling mail on the Olympus II Multi Tier Sorter, Renkim is able to achieve greater postal discounts, saving money on every piece. With such tight timeframes, there was some concern that adding an extra step to sort mail would limit their ability to produce mail on schedule. Renkim discovered the opposite was true. “By adding the sorter process, we need to finish inserting sooner. I thought that might be an issue, but it turns out that we can now process more mail than ever before,” Senko explains. “We no longer need to prepare trays on a job-by-job basis—now we can tray mail once for the whole day’s run. This speeds up the process tremendously, and we are producing more mail with fewer people overall.” The sorter also catches any addressing errors to ensure that mail reaches its intended recipient faster. For Renkim’s clients, being able to achieve these sorter benefits without relying on a third-party provider offers great peace of mind. “Having the sorter in-house was a great decision.” Senko adds. “It increased integrity and productivity while reducing costs for both postage and labor. It also gives us control over the whole process — and our clients in financial services really appreciate that we can handle their whole job in house.” Renkim promotes itself as being a one-stop resource for their clients. “Our business strategy is to deploy an integrated, endto-end mail processing solution, from data quality and integrity, to printing, inserting and sorting,” said Robert Swearengen, President and CEO of Renkim. “Pitney Bowes has been an excellent choice as our end-toend solution provider.” The Pitney Bowes Olympus II Multi Tier high-speed sorter provides job level verification as it accurately combines multiple mailstreams, helping mailers reach their highest potential USPS postage discounts for letter mail. High integrity features such as double detect and pocket verification combine with superior mail handling to give mailers piece of mind as they process high-value mail. “Having the sorter in-house was a great decision, it increased integrity and productivity while reducing costs for both postage and labor,” according to Rick Senko, VP of Operations Renkim Corporation. Olympus II Multi Tier high-speed mail sorter automates outbound and inbound mail processing for high-volume mail centers and presort service bureaus looking to maximize USPS pre-sort postage discounts.
