Varsity Logistics Completes USPS Manifest Analysis and Certification
Software evaluation simplifies process for Manifest Mailing Systems.
San Francisco, Calif. (PRWEB) August 17, 2005 -- Varsity Logistics™, Inc.,
the leader in integrated shipping solutions for the IBM iSeries, today announced
the successful completion of the United States Postal Service Manifest Analysis
and Certification, also known as MAC.
Varsity has offered a USPS Carrier
Compliance Kit (CCK) for several years, and elected to undertake this important
voluntary certification, which examines and certifies the accuracy of software
packages used to calculate postage payment for single-piece and presort-rated
mailings at domestic and international rates.
MAC, developed by the USPS
in partnership with the mailing industry, is available to manifest mailing
product developers of software for single-piece rates mail and presorted,
non-identical piece mail. It tests personal, midrange, or mainframe computer
software. To be MAC-certified, software must, at a minimum, accurately manifest
a basic package of specific class and rate categories. MAC also tests and
certifies the ability of software to generate facsimile mailing statements and
other documentation that must meet USPS standards.
"With this
certification, Varsity's USPS CCK customers can now count on simpler and easier
local compliance with the USPS," said Walt Jader, Director of Operations at
Varsity Logistics. "Our clients using USPS depend on Varsity to deliver the
highest caliber shipping solutions to ensure a consistent, efficient flow in
their shipping process. This certification demonstrates Varsity's continuing
commitment to provide that."
In addition to USPS, Varsity supports all
major parcel carriers including UPS, FedEx, DHL, Airborne, and
Purolator.
