AutoMail 7.0 has more intuitive interface, faster database, updated compliance

JONESBORO, ARK. – SynTel™ LLC, a provider of mailroom automation software and document design software, announced an upgrade to their flagship solution AutoMail® PRO to AutoMail 7.0. The upgrade includes an overhaul of the user interface, creating a simpler and more intuitive workflow.

New financial disclosure laws require more standard notifications and statements be sent to customers. As a result, financial institutions are looking for a way to reduce postage expense and optimize their mailrooms. The upgrade to AutoMail 7.0 provides an intuitive, Web browser-like interface, a faster and more efficient database and changes to ensure compliance to the latest postal service regulations.

“SynTel’s AutoMail has helped our customers save millions of dollars in postage and labor costs since 1998,” said Harry Herget, co-founder and director of marketing for SynTel. “The new interface is easier for users to utilize, since it operates much like a standard Web browser. The upgrade also ensures efficiency and compliance. We know that our customers will be pleased with the new interface, while still experiencing the postage savings and simple mailroom process they are accustomed to receiving.”

AutoMail functions as a mail pre-processor and verifies addresses, presorts the mailing, calculates and quantifies postage and reduces the work involved in preparing statements through manifesting, which eliminates the meter. AutoMail reduces postage expenses by up to 30 percent, which is a non-interest expense that goes back to the bottom line. AutoMail also exceeds the regulatory demands of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions (FACT) Act’s Red Flag Rules.
