Intelligent Mail® products and services use machine-readable codes, such as barcodes, to uniquely identify mail. This enables large mailers to follow the progress of their mail through the many stages of processing all the way to delivery. This information can help businesses better manage their resources, reduce operating and marketing expenses, adapt to market conditions, increase efficiencies, and be more responsive to customers.
The Postal Service™ has a long history of leadership in innovation. Intelligent Mail products and services are using technology to give even more value to the mail as a communications vehicle.
In order to achieve its goal of end-to-end visibility, the Postal Service has incorporated 3 strategies to uniquely identify mail, develop enabling infrastructure, and enhance address quality.
