How Exela Transformed an Agency’s Mail Operations, Reducing Costs and Improving Efficiency THE CHALLENGES The Agency was struggling with excessive costs and delays associated with its current mail operations. Multiple carriers were delivering important, time-sensitive policy information and other mail to a centralized P.O. Box. Once received at the P.O. Box, the mail then had to be sorted and re-routed to agents located in one of 190 of?ces. As a result, agents waited an average of three to ?ve additional days to receive critical information, while the Agency incurred costs for additional resources, supplies, and postage. There were two additional considerations for the Agency when they began searching for an alternative mail solution: reducing the risk of un-deliverable or lost mail and ensuring mail delivery to the correct recipient. Increasing pressure to comply with government privacy regulations only added to the Agency’s decision to change. THE SOLUTION After researching potential vendors and considering their options, the client elected to outsource all of their mail processing and delivery operations to Exela. They made this decision based on Exela’s 30-year mail management expertise, customer footprint, and a tried-and-tested, advanced digital mail platform. Read More
