Mastering the Mailroom

31 March 2011

The mailroom is rightly regarded as the core hub of any organization and the level of efficiency has corresponding impact on corporate performance and revenue. However many mailrooms have simply evolved without any proper planning and there is considerable scope for improvements in every respect.

The name to note is MCS who with nearly 20 years experience offer a truly scientific consultancy approach which is guaranteed to make cost-effective impact.  To give you an idea of this science, key aspects of the service include an onsite consultation at your premises including satellites and delivery areas. To evaluate the present location of mailroom and to analyse the current operation and efficiencies including assessing internal and external mailings, and also to appraise the messenger services to recipients.  The Operation Health Check is designed to work in partnership with managers, staff and mail messengers to obtain a bespoke Best Practice for each individual organisation and to obtain optimum mailroom potential.
