TaskMaster Now Enhanced to
Support Track N Trace Jobs

BCC's TaskMaster™ automation feature has just been enhanced to support the submission of Track N Trace jobs. Track N Trace, BCC's OneCode Confirm® service, is fully integrated into all Mail Manager software solutions.

TaskMaster's automation capabilities make it easy to record individual tasks or whole jobs to play back with little or no operator attention. This functionality is available as an option for Mail Manager users, and included with all Mail Manager Full Service installations.

Contact Customer Support at (800) 624-5234 to learn more about setting up Track N Trace jobs in TaskMaster.

New Barcode Readability Standards Announced

Last week, the Postal Service™ announced the new 80 percent readability threshold that will take effect November 30 for Intelligent Mail® barcodes. These increasing readability standards make early-analysis tools like BCC's Mail Verifier Plus (MVP) even more important for cost-effective and efficient mailing.

A postcard (below) mailed this week explains the benefits of the MVP and proactive barcode quality checks.

Paula Stoskopf, Director of Product Management, discussed what these increased barcode quality standards mean for you in a recent post at Mailing Industry News, the BCC blog. Check out this regularly updated page for the latest commentary and insights from BCC thought leaders.
