What we do for clients

DocketHUB sorts your mailing address file so that it can take advantage of Downstream Access and also adds zonal data, if required, so that the mailing can qualify for Zonal DSA. Once the data is processed and passed to your chosen fulfilment house, you can monitor the progress of the mailing through a suite of reports and dashboards. These highlight where your mailing is in real-time, enabling you to manage the impact of the mail being received.

Whether you are managing a call centre operation and looking to optimise staff levels to reflect when a mail campaign is delivered, or a Campaign Manager looking to manage mail costs across multiple mailings or suppliers. DocketHUB can help manage your business needs.

For mailing houses

Our DocketHUB system provides facilities to help a mailing house manage mailings for multiple clients and multiple DSA Carriers. DocketHUB's sortation facilities enable you to mailsort mailings for both Zonal and National contracts and optimise bag/tray fill to reduce handling time and mailing costs. DocketHUB's sortation software can also be integrated with internal workflow systems for automated file processing whilst still benefiting from the cost savings of mail optimisation. DocketHUB provides cross-carrier bag/tray/cage label production to help simplify your production processes.

DocketHUB also provides online planning tools enabling you to schedule when mailings are due to be collected by your DSA carrier, and manage situations where mailings are produces across several days or the planned collection date changes. DocketHUB manages the generation of any bag pre-advice or forecasting information required by your DSA Carrier, so that your staff are not tied up on paperwork and can concentrate on production planning.

DocketHUB can integrate with production equipment so that production activity can be monitored and ‘spoils’ can be accounted for, should they occur. DocketHUB can provide a full suite of production control facilities supporting bag/tray scanning into cages, cage card production and scanning the cage at dispatch to the carrier, so that you can monitor your entire operation in real-time. DocketHUB can also provide you with production planning tools so that you can monitor progress of jobs through individual enclosers and re-allocate jobs to maximise machine utilisation.
