USPS (Postal) Overview

Today, carriers have to do a lot more than just move goods. Businesses expect them to help move information to realize dramatic improvements in cost, quality, and customer service. 

To meet that challenge, the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) has embraced information technologies that will keep them competitive well into the 21st century, such as computer-based mail and parcel processing systems. No system does it better than Kewill.

With thousands of shippers and mailers in every industry segment, Kewill is the first choice among shippers and mailers for simple, fast, and accurate mail manifesting. Fully MAC-certified, Kewill has been rigorously tested and officially approved by USPS as meeting their standards of quality.

Kewill automates every aspect of processing. Just place your mail piece on the scale, key or scan in a piece ID# and Zip Code, and Kewill does the rest. Rate calculations for domestic and international destinations are fully automated. Kewill generates indicia labels and a manifest for mixed classes of mail. Kewill links you to USPS' customer computer network.

Best of all, Kewill provides you with a Windows environment that allows you to easily shop among multiple carriers and automatically pick the USPS services that will save you time and money. Kewill provides you with the tools you need to maintain total control over outbound activity.
