PDQit (Post Documents Quickly) is a revolution in business mail. Put simply, PDQit™ is like having a personal Digital Post Office that allows you to send your letters and documents to be printed, fulfilled and posted straight from your PC - no special hardware is needed. In fact, as we print and post your letters for you, no paper, envelopes, stamps or franking machines are required either!
When you look closer at the total cost incurred to produce and post a letter, PDQit™ can help you to make substantial savings. Today, a single 2 page letter is probably costing you as much as £1 by the time it's printed, folded, placed in an envelope, stamped and finally collected by a postman. This assumes the postman comes to you or your business premises. If this is not the case, then the cost of having to take your letters to the post box makes the overall cost of posted documents much, much higher.
Using PDQit™ is simplicity itself. The PDQit™ interface looks and feels the same as if you were sending a document to be printed on your local desktop or departmental printer. The only difference is that when you select the PDQit™ printer and click 'print', the letter created on your PC is then encrypted, compressed and sent direct to our facility where it will be automatically printed, folded, placed in an envelope and posted. The solution works with just about any MS Windows™ application such as Word™ or WordPerfect™ etc.
PDQit can also be used to automate the production and posting of your
mail shots. Producing and sending out mailers can be particularly onerous
for any business. How often have you had a team of your highly-paid
employees around a table just to fold and stuff several hundred letters
into envelopes? The whole procedure can take hours. But with PDQit™ you
can create your merge template in Word™, upload it to our website together
with your client data file and let us do the rest. Contact us directly for further
information on PDQit Word Merge mail shots.
How does PDQit work?
The PDQit
driver looks like any other Printer Driver on your PC and you can access
it in the same way as you would any printer i.e. Click ‘File'>‘Print'
and select it from the drop down menu.
When you send your document to be posted via the PDQit driver it will communicate with the PDQit server...
...and then display your document with the visible envelope address area highlighted in a red box for final approval. The document view can be expanded if required...
...This screen also displays your billing information - both the cost
of sending the document and also your available balance. If required, you
can top up the funds in your account by clicking the ‘Credit Account'
button and following the instructions.
Once you are happy that your
document is as expected and you have checked the recipient's address falls
within the red box (the red box isn't printed by the way!) click the OK
button and your document will now be encrypted, compressed and sent to us
for printing and posting.
However, this is not the end of the process as you will now receive an email from us confirming your document has been received. The email will also include a pdf copy of the original document for your records.
To get started with PDQit™ simply download and install the PDQit software and register for a new account.
