What is PrintStream’s Mail.dat?

Streamline Solutions is pleased to offer import of Mail.dat files into the PrintStream Direct Mail Management System. (DMMS) The mail.dat import tool is primarily designed for companies that produce mailings where there is a significant volume of postage discounts and/or entry points and/or packages.

The Mail.Dat Support program is designed to save hours of manually entering postage count data and is done in an error proof manner. Drops and list counts are created for the jobs in PrintStream using the files from your Monticello Mail, Postware or Mail Manager 2000 Presort Software. Drops and list counts are created for each postal destination by matching presort files with the PrintStream job packages. After the drops and list counts have been created, the quantities in MailEstimating for packages, drops, inventory reservations and pricing can be re-calculated from Mail.Dat with the single click of a button.

Mail.dat eliminates the repetitive entry and errors associated with the manual entry of postage count data.

Benefits are obvious for the direct mail company involved in projects that require multiple packages or versions that need to be tracked for production billing and postage reconciliation purposes; or for companies whose mailings often do not mail as hoarding errors will deliver substantial cost benefits.
