"The best Mailsort program in the market"

M. Basham, IT Manager, The Mailing House

The Royal Mail offers considerable postage savings in return for the time savings you make on its behalf by carrying out some of the work involved in sorting and processing your mail..

To enable you to meet the Royal Mail's sorting requirements to obtain these savings, QAS has developed QAS Mailsort to:

  • Organise your outbound mail with minimum effort
  • Count the number of items being mailed to ensure that you meet the minimum mailing requirements
  • Claim the available discounts

Eligibility

Do you send:

  • Large volumes of letters regularly, such as bills and statements?
  • Less frequent, large volume mailings such as direct mail, catalogues and special offers?
  • Large volumes to one specific area e.g. geographic or local ward?
  • Large volumes of publications including newspapers, newsletters, magazines or journals?

If you have answered YES to any of the above questions, you can use QAS Mailsort to save money on your mailings right away.
