Mt. Laurel-based GrayHair Software, Inc., has announced it has enhanced its industry–leading mail–tracking reports with the integration of Google Maps into its reporting engine. This integration provides GrayHair’s clients access to the most powerful mapping tool available.
GrayHair Software is the largest enterprise–wide provider of USPS® PLANET Code® and Intelligent Mail® barcode (IMb) tracking. Through their MailTrak™ and SelectTrak™ products, 10–15 billion pieces of consumer and business mail are tracked each year. Both of these applications are delivered via SelectSolutions™, GrayHair’s recently released cloud–based technology platform, which provides clients unprecedented access to these dynamic reporting engines.
By using the Google Maps API to bring Google Maps into its mail–tracking services, GrayHair allows its clients access to the most robust mapping engine available on the market. Clients gain use of easily searchable maps to better understand the distribution of their mail. This mapping data allows GrayHair to offer its clients the ability to view down to the street level when performing a single–piece look up. With this feature, clients can now view actual map pinpoints showing the scanned locations of a single mailpiece as it passes through the postal stream.
“Our clients expect GrayHair to always be on the cutting edge of technology in our industry,” Vice President of Product Management and Development Raymond Chin said. “That’s an expectation and a challenge GrayHair lives up to.
“To be the first company in our industry to integrate these maps into its reporting engine shows we deliver dynamic features that provide business benefits to our customers,” Chin added.
This new enhancement also allows GrayHair to incorporate radius mapping into its already robust web–based reporting application. This feature allows end users to view the impact of a mailing job in regards to a store or branch of their business. The information displayed allows the end user to determine the number of pieces delivered in each mileage radius, making proactive planning and preparing for the expected response much more effective and efficient.
“The current version of the Google Maps API provides GrayHair the next step in mapping technology, which we plan to expand as GrayHair’s reporting engine grows,” Cameron Bellamy, GrayHair’s president and CEO, said. “As GrayHair is normally three to four years ahead of everyone else in the industry, add these versatile maps to GrayHair’s experience and knowledge and there’s no telling what other applications our clients might see in the future.”
