DX - cost control has never been simpler

Since the first franking machine appeared in 1923 not only have Francotyp-Postalia been at the forefront of innovation but those franking machines have been exclusively used in conjunction with the relevant national postal authorities in the case of the UK, Royal Mail. Postal markets around the world are going through programs of liberalisation and other carriers are playing an increasing role in the postal mix. Far from this change diminishing the role of the postage meter, FP’s development has been able to extend the control of postal expenditure using numerous carriers.

FP’s range of integral and separate platform scales all carry the DX rate tables for easy selection and comparison and when interfaced to any of the range of postage meters allow a one touch select and print facility.

Francotyp-Postalia, one step ahead

In the UK business market one of the best regarded and longest established alternative carriers are DX the ability to monitor and control costs that can be achieved with a franking machine were just as relevant when dealing with DX postage as Royal Mail.

This means that no matter what the volume of postage is or whether customers are using Royal Mail or DX facilities they will be able to keep an accurate account of both expenditures to maximise their savings
