What is
Intelligent Mail?
Intelligent Mail™ is the technology platform for the next generation of mailing services, features and products. The platform consists of a suite of barcodes supported by an enterprise-wide architecture.
IMb Supplemental Information
Contains all the supplemental information needed to succeed with the Intelligent Mail barcode including:
- Product/Service Listings
- BCC Links
- IMb FAQs
- Other Important Links
Mailers and the Postal Service™ will gain end-to-end visibility into the mailstream through the use of the suite of Intelligent Mail barcodes and by submitting electronic documentation, which will create actionable information about mail for marketing, financial and operational environments.
