Our two key products are ePost and BizNotes and the features of each are more fully described below.

ePost

Targetted initially at Banks and Utility Providers eg water, electricity, phone companies

• Significant cost reductions – no more printing, folding, inserting of documents, and subsequent franking and delivery of envelopes
• Reduced queries from customers – all customers will have their historic data/transactions available on-line in their own private secure site. They can access their data from anywhere in the world 24/7 and documents are stored for a minimum of 7 years
• Transparency – With the ePost service senders will be able to see when customers open and read documents
• Instant delivery – No waiting for the manual delivery of post, the service is instant
• Earlier settlement of bills – with read receipt facility on delivery
• Guaranteed delivery – On sending, the system immediately identifies any post which is not delivered, enabling the sender to check the delivery details etc.
• Promotion opportunities – ePost provides the opportunity for organisations to promote their products and services
• Guaranteed SPAM free – ePost security is sufficiently robust to block all SPAM and with a direct connection to the Post Office exchange provides a significant reduction in the security risk associated with current processes
• Environmentally Friendly Solution - Utilizing ePost will significantly reduce the paper used in all traditional correspondence, with a dramatic reduction in kilometers driven delivering paper documents by traditional means. This will lead to a corresponding reduction in CO2 emissions and a lowering of road traffic accident exposure. ePost will enhance any companies environmental credentials
• Competitive advantage - over other competing organisations not using ePost
• Data Quality – databases can be maintained far more effectively

ePost versus eMail

In order not to confuse ePost with e mail the following should be understood.

• ePost is a private ‘gated’ document delivery network which means every member will be a verified user. When joining each member will have to show his/her applicable ID, which will be recorded as verification of the user.
• ePost guarantees delivery with each document being date and time stamped when sent, received, and read.
• ePost is a Secure system which significantly reduces the risk of the wrong persons receiving documents. This is the main reason why banks generally don’t use email, and in many cases the Central Banks prohibit delivering statements by email. We believe that many organisations will ultimately choose to utilize ePost for all written communications with their customers.
• All customers will be connected immediately, not just those who accept emails ultimately increasing the efficiency and savings potential.
• All undelivered documents are flagged ensuring addresses/PO Box can be checked.
• Users will be able to run reports on bills/statements etc. whereas with PDF’s attached to e mails there would be a requirement to re-key the data.
• SPAM or Phishing are not possible within the ePost service where both are endemic with e mail.
