Streamlining bulk certified mail starts in the cloud.
Companies are bracing for a surge in sending past-due and collection notices that require USPS Certified Mail® delivery as temporary pandemic consumer relief ends.
The federal foreclosure moratorium expires June 30, 2021, and forbearance programs pausing mortgage payments on federally backed loans are set to end this fall. Although the federal ban on foreclosures didn’t extend to timeshares, most vacation home ownership associations (HOAs) adopted self-imposed moratoriums.
Many documents are required by law or for regulatory compliance to be sent by Certified Mail. But traditional Certified Mail is expensive at $6.45 plus First-Class postage per piece using the traditional green card return receipt, ($6.80 with the USPS’ planned August increase), with no automation or modern compliance and tracking controls.
To manage the rise in Certified Mail volume and act before another USPS price increase hits, companies are turning to cloud-based software that replaces the traditional costly and labor-intensive manual process that too often dominates this vital business function. This software as a service is designed for business users and is fast to implement, without major IT investment or involvement.
Nordis’ solution is ExpressoCertified®. Leveraging our direct integration to the U.S. Postal Service, ExpressoCertified makes sending sensitive documents and confirming proof of receipt easy and fast. It’s also less expensive than the conventional method.
ExpressoCertified is a delivery option within our patented cloud-based Expresso® customer communications management platform. You can use Expresso to compose the documents, or simply send PDF print ready files to which the certified content is added during file processing.
Law firm simplifies with ExpressoCertified
Already employing two full-time employees just to manage bulk certified mail, a leading real estate law firm anticipated the crush of foreclosure mailings and teamed with Nordis Technologies to digitally transform the business process.
The firm represents timeshare developers and HOAs. Previously, each foreclosure mailing required filling out by hand a PS 3800 (mail receipt) form and a PS 3811 green card (signature capture) form and attaching both to the envelope.
After waiting for the green cards to be mailed back, staff had to organize and physically match them up to paper files. It was an antiquated, laborious procedure.
