Overview

Metering & Presort

Postage metering applies prepaid postage directly to mail rather than relying on stamps, and it's the step many businesses still run in-house on a single office meter — often at a higher effective postage cost and without volume reporting. PMC runs metering on four Pitney Bowes SendPro P-Series meters, with daily pickups and PO drops so metered mail doesn't sit waiting for a courier run.

Clients get weekly and monthly cost and volume reporting, which turns postage from a line-item expense into something that can actually be tracked and managed department by department. The value of moving metering to a dedicated operation is documented: a medical equipment manufacturer saved more than $19,000 a year after outsourcing its metering to PMC instead of running it in-house.

Metering pairs directly with PMC's presort and commingling service: mail that's metered and staged at the Blackwood, NJ plant can move straight into the same-day presort stream rather than through a separate step. For businesses currently metering mail themselves, the combination of daily pickups, real reporting, and a documented savings case study is the practical argument for outsourcing it.

Metering itself is only one line item; the cost and volume reporting behind it is often the bigger operational win. Weekly and monthly reports let a finance or operations team see mail volume trends over time instead of reconciling a postage account balance after the fact. Combined with daily pickups and PO drops, PMC's metering service is built for organizations across South Jersey, the Philadelphia metro, and the broader PA-NJ-DE region that send enough recurring mail to justify dedicated equipment and reporting, but would rather not own and staff it themselves. Meters, reporting, and pickups are billed as one service rather than three separate line items to manage — one fewer vendor relationship for an operations team to maintain.
