Hopewiser UK

AtlasSort

AtlasSort gives easy access to the full range of mail sortation services offered by Royal Mail. These services allow the user to obtain discounts for large volume mailings, which normally pay for the software very quickly.

AltasSort continues the Hopewiser modular approach, allowing the purchase of only those services required, but incorporates Service Streaming to maximise discounts.

AtlasSort is designed to have the same look and feel as Hopewiser's Atlas address management software suite. AtlasSort incorporates all of the features of the former Mailsort for Windows product, together with the latest directives issued by the Royal Mail, and has useful additions based on past customer feedback designed for ease of use.

Pricing in Proportion

AtlasSort caters for the vast changes in the way in which Royal Mail now calculates mailing prices according to mailpiece size in addition to mailpiece weight. This system is referred to as Pricing In Proportion (PIP).
