RA Logistics
Our process is simple:
Let RA Logistics take on the task of drop shipping your destination entry direct mail, without having to tie up floor space and resources to manage the process internally. Simply create a free TDM account at TruckDirectMail.com and enter your shipment details. Small shipments can be entered manually, or upload a mail.dat file to instantly quote an entire nationwide job. You can also enter a pre-quote ID from popular mailing software such as BCC’s Mail Manager and Window Book for instant LTL shipping prices and transit days to any USPS destination entry facility nationwide. Use the system as much as you like for estimating your mail shipments. You only pay for drop shipments tendered thru the TDM website.
RA offers a Logistics Scheduler to handle Drop Ship Destinations through a simple user interface. All Mail.dat information can be separated by destination, to allow the user to easily decide whether they want a specific destination to be sent Expedite, Consolidate, or RA Mail for additional savings. The system also offers a separation of data for mail that will be held back for later induction, or volumes scheduled to be handled locally.
Options Available for Destination Scheduling:
Expedite
Campaigns needing expedite service to meet immediate in home delivery needs can easily be handled using this functionality.
Consolidate
A lower cost solution to meet specific drop/in-home dates. This allows consolidation of volumes to minimize logistical costs and distribute costs to higher level volumes.
On Hold
This flexibility allows certain destinations to be removed from a mailing to be held back for a later submission.
Local Dispatch
These volumes can be separated to give the user the ability to handle these destinations locally or by using company owned vehicles to perform the logistical tasks.
RA Mail
The solution allows for Destinations not qualified for destination entry as well as NDC or Non 5 Digit SCF volumes to be sent through the RA Mail Process to capture further postage savings.
