New SendSuite Shipping and Tracking Solutions Save Law Firms Time and
Money and Reduce Risk
STAMFORD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mar. 30, 2017--
Pitney Bowes Inc. (NYSE:PBI),
a global technology company that provides innovative products and
solutions to power commerce, will showcase its latest solutions for
inbound and outbound parcel management at the Association of Legal
Administrators (ALA) 2017 Annual Conference & Expo, April 2-5, in
Denver. At booth #216, Pitney Bowes legal workflow experts will be
demonstrating SendSuite
Live and SendSuite
Tracking Online, which can help law firms of all sizes automate
their processes for sending and receiving expedited mail and parcels to
save time and money and ensure compliance.
“Law firms today are going through a digital transformation and seek
solutions that automate their processes, cut operating costs, and reduce
compliance risk,” said Tom Hazel, North America Channel Director, Pitney
Bowes Shipping Solutions. “With the high number of critical and
time-sensitive documents and parcels, such as contracts and case files,
sent and received by law firms, there is a tremendous opportunity to
automate a traditionally manual, paper-based process. Bringing together
the latest shipping and tracking technology – either on-site, via the
cloud, or a combination – to optimize these processes can pay big
returns for firms. From ensuring an unbroken chain of custody, to
selecting the best carrier for each overnight package, Pitney Bowes has
the right solution to help them.”
Pitney Bowes SendSuite
Solutions are web-based multi-carrier parcel management solutions
that enable law firms to better ship, track, receive and deliver. These
innovative software solutions replace multiple outdated and manual
processes with a single, user-friendly platform to better manage carrier
and mail expenses, which reduces costs, streamlines operations and
improves customer service.
Pitney Bowes SendSuite
Live displays the latest rates and services from multiple carriers,
giving firms the information needed to select the right carriers and
delivery options for each parcel. It helps ensure client billing
accuracy by automatically allocating charges to the appropriate client,
cost center or department for every shipment and mail piece. SendSuite
Live also automatically supplies accounting with accurate data
electronically to recover all charges and fees. In addition, firms can
save up to 75 percent and avoid unnecessary fees and surcharges by
selecting the right carrier.
“We use SendSuite
Live to bill postage and shipping charges to our cases and by doing
so has made us more efficient; previously it was a manual process,” said
Bernardo Garcia, Controller, Morgan & Morgan, P.A. “It has also
simplified our process for generating shipping labels because we can use SendSuite
Live to create FedEx & UPS labels without having to log into two
different websites. Another bonus is that it allows us to quickly look
up and track shipments billed to a specific case or research all postage
and shipments billed to a case.”
The process for receiving and tracking inbound documents and packages at
law firms is also often manually intensive and can pose a significant
risk to the firm. Disorganized or informal document and parcel
management can even cost law firms their cases. In one high-profile
court case, the mailroom of a prestigious New York law firm representing
a death-row inmate mistakenly returned unopened court orders denying the
inmate’s appeal in 2003. The U.S. Supreme Court later ordered a new
hearing for the inmate, citing the firm’s improper handling of the
documents.
Pitney Bowes SendSuite
Tracking Online is a cloud-based solution that automates and
standardizes the inbound process and tracks document or parcels from
when they enter the facility and records every step along the way to
preserve the chain of custody and ensure nothing is delayed or misplaced.
