Using EasyTrack in MailRoom ToolKit

Description: This tech note explains how to use EasyTrack, the Satori reporting suite for the USPS Confirm/IMb Tracing System, available in MailRoom ToolKit.


What is EasyTrack?


EasyTrack is a service that creates graphical reports to provide actionable information about the delivery status of a mailing.  EasyTrack uses the USPS Confirm/IMb Tracing System functionality to display mailing information in the contexts of maps, charts, and reports.


When activated for a mailing, the EasyTrack service collects the raw scan data sent from USPS and generates mailing-level and piece-level reports. This allows you to more accurately predict a delivery timeline and expected response from a mailing. Standard Mail® and First-Class Mail® letters, flats and cards are supported.

Applying for the USPS Confirm/IMb Tracing System

EasyTrack collects scans of Intelligent Mail barcodes, which require a USPS-issued Mailer ID.  You may either use Satori Software's Mailer ID, or you may contact your Satori Account Representative if you would like to use your own Mailer ID for EasyTrack reporting.

Obtaining the EasyTrack add-in

To obtain the EasyTrack add-in contact your local reseller or contact Satori Sales at 1 -800-553-6477. 

Once you obtain a serial number for EasyTrack, enter the serial number via the MailRoom ToolKit installer for April 2012 or later, or via the EasyTrack Service Pack installer.
