Automation has transformed the way businesses operate, eliminating inefficiencies in everything from accounting to customer support. Yet, one critical function remains painfully outdated: sending physical mail. Despite the rise of digital communication, companies still need to mail contracts, compliance notices, customer statements, and other important documents. But managing this manually? Printing, stuffing envelopes, affixing postage, and making trips to the post office waste valuable time and resources. While digital solutions have transformed business efficiency, traditional mailing remains an overlooked bottleneck—until now.

The Smartes’ NetSuite postal mail integration provides a seamless way to automate mailing directly from NetSuite. With just a few clicks, businesses can generate and send any document without touching a printer or envelope. No more manual labor. No more delays. Just fast, professional mail delivery, automated within NetSuite. In this article, we’ll explore why postal mail still matters, how automation can revolutionize document delivery, and why Smartes’ solution is the future of business mailing.

Why Postal Mail Still Matters in a Digital World

Many businesses assume that digital communication has replaced physical mail, but in reality, traditional mailing remains essential for several key reasons:

Certain industries—such as financial services, healthcare, and legal firms—must send physical documents to comply with regulations. Contracts, tax forms, legal notices, and medical statements often require printed copies for verification and official record-keeping.

2. Customer Preferences

Despite the convenience of email, some customers still prefer receiving printed invoices, statements, and notifications. Many businesses cater to customers who value physical documentation for record-keeping or find it more trustworthy than digital communication.

3. Guaranteed Delivery and Visibility

Emails can be ignored, lost in spam filters, or accidentally deleted. Physical mail, however, ensures a tangible, trackable method of reaching recipients, particularly when dealing with important or time-sensitive information.

4. Professionalism and Brand Impact

Receiving a professionally printed document in the mail often has a greater impact than an email. Businesses use direct mail for personalized communications, contract renewals, and high-value customer interactions, reinforcing their brand presence.

Despite these benefits, the traditional mailing process is slow, labor-intensive, and costly—which is why automation is the key to modernizing business mail.

How Smartes’ NetSuite Postal Mail Integration Works

Smartes’ NetSuite postal mail integration eliminates the need for manual mailing by automating the entire process. Here’s how it works:

1. Seamless Document Generation

  • Instead of printing and mailing manually, they select the postal mail option within NetSuite.

2. Automated Processing and Mailing

  • Once initiated, Smartes’ integration automatically processes the document for printing and mailing.
  • The document is professionally printed, folded, and packaged for delivery.

3. Reliable and Trackable Delivery

  • The mail is sent via USPS or other mailing services without requiring employee intervention.
  • Businesses can track the status of their mailed documents, ensuring secure and verified delivery.

By eliminating manual tasks, businesses can focus on growth, efficiency, and customer service instead of spending hours on mailing operations.
