Continua Install a Pitney Bowes Olympus Mailsorter in One of UK’s Largest Mailing Organisations

I am pleased to announce that Continua has recently installed a Pitney Bowes Olympus Multitier Mailsorter in one of our customer sites. The company, one of the UK’s largest organisations in the global mail, parcel and express sector, currently offers a comprehensive range of mail services to 250-300 customers (worldwide). The organisation required a solution to improve overall production efficiencies whilst reducing overall costs within its mailing operation.

With the expert help from our Equipment Sales team, the answer was simple - the Olympus Mailsorter. The sorter can process up to 24,000 mail pieces per hour and is capable of sorting outgoing mail into 120 different Post Office delivery sort codes enabling the company to access significant postal discounts. This discount combined with the mail volumes from its existing customers means that the organisation can now offer mail sorting services to companies whose run lengths would traditionally not qualify for postal discounts.

Automating this otherwise labour intensive process has numerous benefits including: operational efficiencies and improving tracking via ‘track and trace’ software. The Mailsorter’s small footprint, superior read rates and mail-tracking capabilities means that the product can grow in line with the company. At the current mailing volumes, we anticipate the company will have secured the return on the investment in just nine months.

In line with our unique multi vendor service offering Continua will service the Mailsorter utilising our on- site service support. This customer will now enjoy the financial and operational benefits of Continua serving its production printers, mail inserters and now the Olympus Mailsorter.
