New Mailing Technology Requirements from USPS
The United States Postal Service (USPS) is implementing a new technology standard called Intelligent Mail Indicia (IMI) to modernize its mailing system.

What is IMI and why is it required?
IMI replaces the older technology and provides the USPS with more detailed and real-time data on your mailings. This translates to a smoother and more efficient mailing experience for everyone. Upgrading offers several benefits:

Reduced costs: Eliminates the need to guesstimate postage, preventing overspending and returns.
Improved cash flow: Detailed transaction data makes it easier to track refunds and reimbursements.
Always up-to-date: Your system automatically receives the latest postage rates and service information.
Enhanced security: Robust security features protect your data.
Increased efficiency: IMI streamlines mail processing for the USPS, potentially leading to faster deliveries.
What does this mean for you?
The good news is, you don’t need to take any action. Stamps is already working diligently behind the scenes to ensure our technology is fully compliant with IMI by December 2024. As an approved USPS partner, we’ll make sure your mailing operation continues to run smoothly without interruption.
