ZenSmart Direct Mail is a tailored package specifically designed to achieve peak efficiency in direct mail manufacturing. It’s the end result of decades of on-demand manufacturing industry experience and optimizing production for ever smaller batches.
Optimize print production
ZenSmart features a powerful queuing and batching system enabling you to define the fuels which enable Jobs to be Batched together to optimize press submission. It means that additional yield can be extracted from the presses and better return on capital. It’s all completely defined by you in Flow Designer, it’s your system and you are in control.
Flexible, redundant manufacturing
Leveraging Flow Designer business rules, Press Operators can last-minute determine which press-finishing workflow that batches are sent down. It enables flexible press-finishing work flow. Direct integration with inserters like Pitney-Bowes means that a complete information circle is created, delivering resilient job execution.
Manage failed insertions and spoils
One of the enemies of direct mail is spoils from failed insertion. This creates a bad flow where the spoils have to be routed back to the press. ZenSmart enables complementary fail-flow to be defined so that any spoils can be printed (on the same or different press) enabling a perfect lodgement to be achieved to the original timeline that was defined for the job. That means costs are strictly controlled and customer satisfaction maximized.
Monitor staff and station performance
One of the central tenets of ZenSmart is that every staff member and every workstation or machine has an identity. Staff logon onto their station and every unit of work that passes their workstation is logged against them. It means that every person and every machine in the facility is accountable for their work. Rich information is captured by ZenSmart that provides powerful insight into machine, person and team productivity as well as fail rates and performance to time. It’s an incredibly powerful combination that can underpin far-reaching decisions that can have a big impact on production strategy.
Totally control performance to SLA
With each unit of production carefully monitored at each production stage, this data flows back into ZenSmart WIP manager. In WIP manager not only are you alerted to work that is over SLA but also work that is not traveling through production at the required rate. It’s a friendly yet powerful set of tools that enables clear oversight of all work to ensure ship to SLA to your defined due dates.
Pack validation
ZenSmart enables any number of components or accessories to be defined against the job. Barcode scans of the accessories provide the control to ensure that at pack stations staff are adding the correct elements to the order. Alternatively dynamic rule based visual and audible alerts can be defined instructing different actions (and of course performance is fully tracked).
Achieve least cost shipping
ZenSmart can seamlessly integrate with existing mail platforms via the rich ZenSmart Shipping API or there is a host of integrations available with platforms such as InfoShip, ShipCaddie and many direct logistics provider integrations from Fedex to DHL, US Post to Royal Mail. Lastly should you require it, ZenSmart has a powerful least cost ship system that can perform either table lookups or real time reverse auctions to get you the very best mail rate.
