DFWorks

DFWorks is an integrated software suite

for production mail facilities that provides

real-time information on print and mail

jobs, available resources and individual mail

pieces. The scaleable, server-based software

integrates to a variety of document output

printing and mailing systems.

The

and Funds Management Module

provides a set of online views and

management tools to simplify and

optimize postage-related management

tasks without costly production delays.

The



DFWorks

Reporting Module determines

productivity by equipment, operator

and job type to provide vital

intelligence that allows continuous

process improvement.

The



DFWorks

Mailrun Management

provides centralized job profiling, insert

plan version control, job ticketing, and

automated job setup when used in

conjunction with intelligent inserter

systems. Job setup automation reduces

costs, labor and waste, and simplifies

production reporting.

Job Tracking

DFWorks

Production Workflow

enables you to automatically monitor and

document the timeline of jobs from start to

finish, helping you to manage your SLA’s and

monitor productivity. Job forecasting allows

you to start tracking jobs even before they

arrive, so alerts can be sent to resolve delays

before they happen. As jobs are routed from

arrival through conditioning, print, insert

and any intervening manual or QC steps, the

workflow of the job is graphically presented

and can be directly viewed by your clients

via restricted Web access, which can help

improve customer satisfaction.

Improve SLA performance with

Automated Data Collection

The integration of output management and

finishing systems is the key to an effective

ADF reporting system. Consistent, high-

quality data provides accurate analysis that

you can depend on, and eliminates the

concerns often associated with loosely-

coupled third party solutions.

Document Lifecycle Tracking

Instantly know the status of every mail

piece that passes through your facility and

realize increased gains in response time on

service to your customers. Optimizing your

print and mail operation with the power to

automatically track the history and status of

each mail piece can result in lower costs and

higher customer satisfaction. Further expand

the value and content of mail piece history

with integration to postal tracking and

document vault systems for delivery status

and instant recall of the original as-produced
