SHELTON, CT, February 5, 2004 – The PowerPost mailing system with in-motion weighing offers easy integration with Hasler’s iMCM postal system for complete control over virtually all mailing operations. The result is a fast and efficient in-house mailing system that turns mailrooms into profit centers.

The rugged, high volume PowerPost can meter up to 13,000 letters per hour and features special functions like pre-sort reports, conditional rating, and in-motion weighing. This heavy-duty performer has a large, easy to read touch screen, and can easily process mail up to a ½” thick. PowerPost’s basic accounting features enable mail centers to keep track of all mail-related funds, supporting charge backs to clients and appropriate in-house departments for up to 300 accounts. Its Full Rating Engine provides highly accurate rate determination for postage rates, sub classes and special services. And, Hasler’s proprietary Tele Metering Settings® (TMS) system makes downloading postage funds quick and easy.

Hasler’s iMCM software has been designed specifically for Windows® operating systems and is an Internet-connected information management system. It compares shipping rates of major carriers, offers the ability to add local carriers, and provides a dedicated screen containing complete information and prompts for optimum productivity at the touch of a button. iMCM produces multi-carrier compliant, two dimensional bar-coded labels that includes all the tracking information needed for fast, accurate and cost effective control. It efficiently selects domestic or international carriers, provides routing information, enables real time tracking of shipments and confirms final delivery.

With sales continuing to exceed forecasts, PowerPost and iMCM’s reputation is growing as the perfect high volume mailing solution, providing mid-size and larger companies with quick and easy weighing, processing and accounting of out-bound mail and shipping functions.

“PowerPost integrated with iMCM was designed to offer the marketplace a true comprehensive solution for mail centers; a system that can help organizations convert a necessary but costly administrative function into one that actually improves its bottom line,” says Hasler President, John Vavra. “Because of these benefits, we expect PowerPost sales to continue growing well into 2005 and beyond.” PowerPost is available through all authorized Hasler dealers across the nation.
