BCC Integrates Where’s My Mail Service into Mail Manager 2010 Software

Rochester, NY — BCC Software, a BÖWE BELL + HOWELL company and a leading developer of high-performance software and solutions for professional mailers, announces the completion of an integration process that folds the Where’s My Mail mailpiece-tracking service into Mail Manager 2010 and Mail Manager 2010 LE, BCC’s flagship presorting and list-management software solutions. The integration provides 2010 and LE users with a simple yet powerful method of processing United States Postal Service® (USPS®) PLANET Code™ information, and monitoring crucial mailpiece delivery details.

BCC Software partnered with trackmymail.com to offer this service to its customers in September 2004. Prior to its 2010/LE integration, Where’s My Mail was available to BCC customers at the online, user-exclusive BCC Customer Portal (https://portal.bccsoftware.com).

The increased accessibility of Where’s My Mail further streamlines the high-end mailing functionality of Mail Manager 2010 for BCC customers. 2010 and LE users can now easily access Where’s My Mail by clicking the Create BCC Data Services Job button on the 2010 taskbar; selecting Where’s My Mail, and following a series of simple steps. This action can be combined with the already established practice of submitting lists for processing through BCC Data Services, an array of USPS certified list-enhancement resources that increase deliverability and mailing economy.

Trackmymail.com, having tracked over 2.5 billion mailpieces since 2000, is the preeminent PLANET Code tracking service for the professional mailing industry. Trackmymail.com is a Web-based company that supplies users with a PLANET Code number and USPS documentation, and reports on tracking results at various points as the piece transits the postal system. With this data, Where’s My Mail users can measure mailing effectiveness and better coordinate marketing efforts, among other uses.

PLANET Codes, a component of the USPS Confirm™ program, are recorded every time they pass through a postal facility barcode sorter. The PLANET Code identifies the mailer, and the scanning data is transmitted to account holders. The Confirm program began as a test in 1998 and became fully operational in 2000.

“We’re pleased to be able to make Where’s My Mail even more accessible to the professional mailers who comprise our customer base,” said Ted Seward, BCC Vice President of Marketing. “Many people have already enjoyed the benefits of knowing when customers are receiving their mail. This integration is the perfect opportunity for those that have yet to try Where’s My Mail.”
