Hays launches postal management service

Optical courier service provider Hays DX has launched what it claims to be the UKÕs first outgoing mail management service for business.Called ÔTotal Mail SolutionÕ, Hays will collect a customerÕs business mail at the end of each working day, sort it and then redirect the mail through the most cost-effective mailing network.Following the much-publicised gradual freeing up of the postal system, Hays stated that its latest service would signal Ôa new era of choice in the postal services marketÕ.Neil Tregarthen, managing director, said: ÔLiberalisation of the UK mail market will provide customers with new choices in terms of service, price and tailored services.ÔWe have developed Total Mail Solution to allow the outsourcing of mailroom functions which otherwise will become very complicated in the future.ÕMr Tregarthen listed the benefits as being cost savings, improved reliability, and no extra management fees as customers were only charged for the cost of the outgoing mail that they sent.When a new customer signs up for TMS, Hays will profile the mail output to determine the volume and type of mail that is sent. Hays would then agree with the customer a fixed monthly rate covering total postal costs and afterwards manage the companyÕs whole mail output over a contracted term.
