ConnX Mailroom vs EzeScan

ConnX Mailroom tracks mail and packages as they move from an organization's mailroom to recipients. Staff can label incoming items with a new barcode or use the courier's barcode, then book items against recipients with a scanner. The system can email recipients when mail arrives. Handheld devices can capture signatures as proof of delivery and photographs of damaged items. Workflows cover pigeon-hole collection, courier and van deliveries, and mail trolley delivery and collection. Web-based parcel tracking and reporting provide item information, while an audit trail records movements from booking in so staff can trace an item's last known location. Mailroom is an on-premise solution that ConnX says runs behind the customer's own firewalls. The M3 OX10 handheld can send updates over internal Wi-Fi or GPRS in real time, or be downloaded on return for batch updates. ConnX identifies banks, building societies, large or multi-floor sites, NHS Trusts, universities, and carriers or courier companies as potential users. The company invites prospective customers to arrange a demo and request a quote; no Mailroom price is stated.
