DFS In Action
We're live, here's what's next.
Step 1: What we do with your data
Here we will explain what happens when you send a file to DFS.
- When you send us a file we call it a "job" and that job is assigned a Work Order ID which is a tracking number for that file. You will now be able to track this job in Portal which is our secure online platform that gives users direct access to their account with DFS.
- Your Custom App automatically processes your file and sends reports that tell you how many pieces of mail were processed and how much paper and or envelopes were used. You will also be sent samples for you to review. If your report and samples are correct then we move on to the next step.
Step 2: Time to print
After your job is reviewed and approved, it is made available to our Print team who will get to work on printing your job. As the job is printing, they will review the output to ensure quality standards are met.
Step 3: Lettershop – Where it All Comes Together
This is where we turn all of the printed paper into a piece of mail. Our inserting machines will fold the piece of mail, place it in an envelope and seal it closed to be given to the postal carrier. This happens automatically because your custom app placed barcodes on each piece of page that tells the machines which pages should go together in an envelope.
Our Insert Team watches closely to make sure the machines are doing it's job and they are always ready to step in when they need to.
Step 4: Time to Mail
Once everything has been printed and our team ensures everything meets our quality standards, the mail is sent to a sorting facility where postage is applied and everything is mailed.
