FlatsMgr

Sorting System
FlatsMgr
The Fluence FlatsMgr™ solution automates the task of sorting outgoing or incoming flat mailpieces using the most efficient technology available on the market today. This system can displace the need for manual processing or less efficient flat mailpiece processing while increasing the quality and traceability of each mailpiece. For permit indicia and barcode printing, our patented labeling technology blows labels onto the mailpiece, which virtually eliminates damage caused by stamping or “full touch” required by other vendors’ labelers. Additionally, our linerless labels reduce label consumption by using virtually every inch of label stock and eliminate waste caused by label liners. Pre-barcoded mailpieces are
read and processed without labeling. FlatsMgr is built with our latest parcel-sorting capabilities but is designed for sensitivity—from the smallest mailpiece to the largest flat acceptable by USPS®. Using this technology, mailers can take full advantage of USPS Full Service discounts by providing unique Full Service barcodes and electronic documentation through the USPS PostalOne!® gateway
