More mail moves online as Pitney Bowes rolls out Volly

The trek to the letterbox is about to get easier in the US with Pitney Bowes set to release Volly, an online mailbox that allows consumers to receive bills, direct marketing and catalogues.

Due for release to the US market in the second-half of 2011, Volly is a cloud-based digital mail communications platform that also offers online bill pay. A release from the company claims that the service will “help organisations realise cost savings, while ultimately empowering consumers with an opt-in, spam-free experience.”

Broadridge Financial Solutions is the first to sign up as a strategic partner with the service. According to Doug DeSchutter, president, customer communications, the service will “increase our clients’ flexibility, choice and control over how they communicate with their customers and shareholders.”

“The integration of this service with our existing operations and workflow processes will provide us with further enhanced capabilities which will enable us to offer our clients new, innovative services,” he said.

Pitney Bowes did not respond to Print21’s enquiry as to whether the service will be available in Australia at the time of going to press.
