5 ways outsourcing mailroom services really deliver

As companies realize the positives of a remote workforce, it has become clear that digital mailroom services can offer many benefits that support our new work-from-home world. In fact, digital mailroom benefits are many, and it turns out that outsourcing mailroom services really deliver. So, what exactly is it, and what are the benefits of a digital mailroom? Let's take a look.

What is a digital mailroom?

A digital mailroom allows your employees to work from anywhere and still receive their inbound paper mail, electronically. When outsourcing mailroom services, a digital mailroom involves a third party, like EO Johnson Business Technologies, which takes care of all the legwork for you. That means we handle the opening, scanning, and sending of the electronic version of the mail to the right people. Sensitive documents are handled separately, as you wish. In short, a digital mailroom provides the convenience and security that our modern world and our work-from-home culture need.

What are the digital mailroom benefits?

There are 5 primary benefits to having a digital mailroom and outsourcing those mailroom services.

1.  Outsourcing your digital mailroom services reduces staff workload.
It's easy to underestimate the amount of time and effort it takes your staff to open, scan, and route mail electronically. But anyone in business knows the old adage, time is money, is absolutely true. Your valuable staff could be better using their time in revenue-generating roles or providing critical support services to your team during these challenging times. Outsourcing your digital mailroom services allows you to make the best use of your human resources.

2.  Mail gets to recipients FAST.
Rerouting paper documents, particularly as delivery services are maxed out, can slow your processes to snail mail's pace. With a digital mailroom, you can count on a  swift turnaround from our team. In no time, our experts do the dirty work and get the mail to your employees fast.

3.  Your data is protected.
Data security has never been more important, and the stakes have never been higher. By transitioning to digital documents, you can have added peace of mind that paper mail isn't getting lost or falling into the wrong hands. More, documents can be tracked and stored with security.

4.  World-class customer service.
