Postal automation in 2025: smarter, more efficient, and fully digital

Now that companies are focusing more on innovation and business process optimisation, it’s time to reorganise that cumbersome mail processing too with postal automation. But what exactly do we mean by postal automation? And what’s the best way to implement it?

It’s true that the advent of sorting machines, cutters, envelope sealers, envelope fillers and franking machines made mail processing more efficient. But you still need staff to operate those machines and put the mail through the whole process. This means your employees are spending less time on other tasks that belong to their core duties.

Moreover, that partial automation of your mail delivery costs a lot of money. After all, you are responsible for the purchase and maintenance of all the machines, as well as the purchase of paper, envelopes and ink.

Traditional mail processing versus postal automation: time-consuming and costly

To cope with those high costs and loss of valuable time, it’s better to automate your outbound mail by leaving it to an experienced mail partner. That’s because they use innovative technologies for postal automation.

At EasyPost, for example, we developed EasyPost Connect, a total solution for sending all your outgoing communication. All you need to do is provide us with the documents you wish to send digitally, along with the chosen layout for document and cover. We receive everything in a secure, digital environment and take over the postal delivery process from you. To maintain privacy, we work in-line. No one has access to the content of your business post.
