6. Mailing Spend Visibility
• Most organizations lack complete information on their mailing spends including:
– Equipment Inventory – Model, Serial Number, Description, Install Dates
– Lease Details – Contract Number, Term, Amount, Items Covered and End of Lease Dates
– Postage Spends – How much postage does each site use and what are the balances sitting in prepaid and
advance accounts.
– Other Mailing Costs – Meter Rental, Maintenance, Rate Change, Supplies.
– Avoidable Fees – Late Fees, Finance Charges, Equipment Insurance, Loyalty Programs, Transaction
Frees, Reset and Advance Fees
• Lack of detail leads to significant overspending. Our average savings is 57%
because we are managing this detail
• Most organizations are spending thousands in fees and overcharges unknowingly.
• Lack of controls lead to lost postage.
• The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has established new lease rules
(ASC 842) that require companies to record operating leases on the balance sheet as
a liability vs. only declaring the expense on the income statement.
– Must include the full future discounted value of the remaining lease obligations.
– Public companies – Started 12/15/18
– Non Public companies – Starts 12/15/19
– Will require that you have full visibility to all leases

September 17, 2020 10

11. Validate Equipment Spends with Locations
We typically find 5-15% of a mailing fleet is not needed and can be returned.
• Bills often sent to accounts payable with limited review.
• Locations not surveyed about the equipment at the location.
• Little understanding of the equipment listed on bills and reports.
• Vendors have little incentive to validate suspect equipment because of lost
revenue.
• Equipment may be sitting in storage with charges accruing.
September 17, 2020 11
Criteria for Validation:
• Meters not filled for over 6 months.
• Expired leases.
• Maintenance and meter rentals.
• Equipment over 5 years old.
• Folders, inserters, openers, shipping
and tracking systems.
