UPS Mail Innovations has opened a new mail processing centre in Tolleson, Ariz. The diagram below illustrate the how the UPS mail system helps improve delivery efficiency. “UPS Mail Innovations serves customers that have opted to outsource their mail operations, saving them time and money,” said David Larkin, regional manager for UPS Mail Innovations.
Having had two Comm 101 classes on Logistics, I learned a basic concept of what it is and how a bad logistics system can lower the operational efficiency of a company. However, I didn’t know that the business mail processing is considered as a logistics aspect, and that a poor management over the process could slow down company growth, especially in small and medium enterprises. Business may be paying a small premium per mail piece if they are using the wrong class of mail, which can compile into a large expense. Also, if the mails are time-sensitive or highly valuable, then a mail provider that provides real‐time updates on the in‐transit mail will be very helpful.
