Itella iPost letters reach 105 million mark

In 2008, a total of 105 million Itella Information iPost letters were sent all around Europe. Most of the letters were sent in Finland, where the service has been in use since the 1990s.

In the iPost service, companies deliver material – such as invoices, customer newsletters or payslips – in electronic form to Itella. Itella Information then prints out the material, puts it into envelopes and delivers it using the method preferred by the recipient, that is, either on paper via regular mail or in electronic format. The service speeds up the information flow from the sender to the recipient, and boosts the operations of the sending organisation. Routine tasks, such as enveloping and mailing, are carried out by Itella in a secure way, and the company is responsible for providing the content.

During 2008, iPost was extended to cover Sweden, Denmark, Norway and Germany. At the moment, iPost is also being introduced in eastern Central Europe, as Itella Information has launched operations in Slovakia.

In Finland, iPost also is an easy way for companies to adopt electronic invoicing.

Getting started with iPost is can also be done online. In 2008, almost 50% of new contracts were signed online.
