Statement and Invoice Printing Services FAQ
It is important to reach customers on their preferred billing channel. By offering documents in print and electronic format and utilizing eNotifications, you can ensure timely communications when a statement is ready or a payment is due. The addition of convenient links to an ePresentment site or payment portal, or even a “pay by text” service, can further help facilitate on-time payment remittance.
Strategic partnerships, such as with the USPS, FedEx, Pitney Bowes Presort Services and other shipping companies, allow our clients to benefit from postage discounts, reduced material costs and the most efficient delivery systems – all working together effectively to deliver your critical documents in the most resourceful manner.
When it comes to eStatements, FSSI’s customized preference management options provide user control over the delivery and receipt of information – with easy opt-in and management of delivery and notification preferences. From selecting or changing the delivery method to adjusting notification settings, your customers have control over their choices, increasing overall satisfaction and loyalty.
“Transpromo” marketing is when you combine transactional and promotional communications into one purposeful document. By integrating marketing messages into your statements, invoices and business documents, you maximize the available whitespace to reach an existing, dedicated audience with targeted messaging.
FSSI is committed to secure, compliance-friendly processes and procedures. This includes passing annual SSAE-18 SOC 2 and HIPAA audits, ensuring secure data transmissions and implementing quality standards and protocols throughout the production process. From building security and employee training to server-level security and secure data standards, we are committed to providing a strong and reliable infrastructure that supports your security needs.
Automation is an essential element of statement printing and mailing, encompassing the procedures and notifications that support file transmission, data processing and archival. From sending emails to confirm file receipt to routing files for immediate processing and creating PDFs for review and approval, there are automated processes set up to ensure timely statement production.
Yes. With FSSI’s workflow tracking and reporting capabilities, you get an inside look into the entire document workflow process. You can access real-time data and analytics 24/7, including file receipt, sample approval files, job status, inventory on hand and more. With unique piece tracking (UPT), you can also track the delivery and disposition of your critical mail.
Full-Service Statement Outsourcing Services
Because of FSSI’s ongoing investment in production and infrastructure technologies, our fully-integrated suite of statement processing services centers on the latest document composition and delivery methods, including:
Digital Color Inkjet Technology
Performance advantages of FSSI’s digital color inkjet printing system translate directly into accurate, high-quality document production, and include precise registration, consistent color quality; high speed, high volume performance; instant QC (quality control) at full production speeds; and more output control with significantly less waste.
Cost-Efficient Inline Printing
Advanced, continuous feed, inline printing and finishing make FSSI’s print systems the most flexible and economical in the statement print and mail services industry. Perforating pages vertically or horizontally can be done dynamically, changing positions with each page, eliminating the need for pre-or post-production processing and your dependence on costly, pre-printed stock.
MICR Ink Support
One of our most useful document processing services is inline check printing with MICR ink support. This feature allows checks to be printed together with other documents, such as letters, financial statements and invoices, instead of in separate runs. Unlike pre-printed check stock, documents with checks printed inline can feature targeted messaging and full-color images and graphics – turning a common payment instrument into a personalized communication channel.
Selective Messaging with Variable Data Printing
FSSI’s proprietary, self-managed portal, messageStreamOne, provides complete, real-time control over document message management, including the ability to personalize on-page messaging by adding strategically-placed message text and graphics. Change content as often as you like, with no additional programming charges.
Custom Mail Inserting
An essential component of FSSI’s financial statement processing solutions is automated mail inserting. Each inserter employs sophisticated camera technology that reads a 2D data matrix through the envelope window to compare and match it against an FSSI-created database. Each inserter has six selective insert stations, providing the flexibility you need to mail inserts to high-value or specially-targeted customers. For mail that can’t be fulfilled on automated inserters, we offer custom (hand) insertions as part of our statement outsourcing solutions.
Secure Compliance Reporting Tool
Through innovative print job tracking tools, FSSI clients who use our print and mail outsourcing services can track time-sensitive mailpieces throughout the postal journey. Our workflow and document management reporting tools work with delivery by the Postal Service and other common carriers. It’s one more weapon in your arsenal and one less worry for the compliance team.
Document Layout, Composition and Redesign
Document design says a lot about your company and the importance you place on customer engagement and satisfaction. Well-designed customer documents that feature color enhancements and relevant on-page messaging tell customers you understand and care about their informational needs.
Documents in need of a design refresh are easy to spot. On-page information may be cluttered or busy and difficult to read. Locating balance due, payment history and other critical information can be a challenge, which may spark confusion or frustration from customers that can damage brand satisfaction and loyalty.
Refreshing the look and layout enables you to improve engagement on customer statements beyond their intended purpose, improving customer communications and transforming everyday documents into powerful brand-building and account service tools.
