Malvern Systems Launches Endicia Online Postage Interface

For Immediate Release:

MALVERN, PA – Malvern Systems, Inc. proudly announces the launch of a new means for processing US Postal Service (USPS) parcels. Using technology provided by www.endicia.com, the Malvern Manifest System can now provide an efficient and cost-effective alternative to metering and postal manifesting. 

One of many standard options in this product, Stealth Indicia allow merchants to capture additional revenue (usually in the form of handling charges) without drawing attention to the practice. That is, the difference between the postage paid by the merchant and the amount charged to the customer (handling charge) is not clearly evident on the parcel. Using Information Based Indicia (IBI) postal technology, Stealth Indicia are an approved form of USPS postage evidencing that hides the postage amount paid by the shipper from the shipping label.

Processing shipments is fast and efficient, taking as few as three seconds per package.  When a user  processes a shipment, postage is automatically deducted from a prepaid online account. A shipping label is generated by a thermal label printer and, in seconds, the user can move on to the next parcel for USPS or any other carrier.  There is no need to produce an end-of-day manifest or to use a physical postage meter.

Malvern designed the Endicia Online Postage Interface for shippers processing five to five hundred USPS domestic or international parcels per week.  However, there are no volume requirements or limitations.

In addition to offering this new means of processing USPS parcels, Malvern continues to provide and support three alternatives for USPS parcel processing: manual metering, interfaces to third-party Postage Meters, and Postal Manifesting.

The Malvern Manifest System is a PC-based, multi-carrier shipping system with an industry-leading user interface. Standard features include UPS OnLine^® compatibility, rate shopping, multi-account processing, third-party insurance, custom-defined rate tables, and report writer. Optional features include FedEx^® Ship Manager Server Interface, LTL Rating, BOL Printing, Airborne Express^® SDI Linkage,  and email notification.
