Digital transformation is a competitive necessity yet too many organizations still rely on outdated and inefficient mail processing systems. From paper bottlenecks to costly manual errors, these systems quietly bleed money, productivity, and compliance confidence. Many businesses don’t fully recognize just how much they’re losing.

Uncover the hidden costs of inefficient mail extraction and show how Agissar’s automation technologies — especially INFOPoll® and INFOPointe® — eliminate these issues through intelligent, secure, and accountable workflows.


🧩 The Real Cost of Manual Mail Handling

1. ⌛ Time Wasted on Low-Value Tasks

Manual envelope opening, sorting, and document classification are labor-intensive. On average, a full-time mailroom employee processes 100–200 pieces of mail per hour. That’s slow when compared to an automated system like Agissar’s that handles 2,000–4,000+ pieces per hour with no fatigue or downtime.

2. 💸 Labor Overhead & Staff Churn

Manual mailrooms require multiple employees to handle peaks and redundancy. Overtime and training costs stack up quickly. Worse, the repetitive nature of the work increases staff turnover, which causes downtime and hiring/training churn.

3. 📉 Lost or Misrouted Mail

Even minor routing mistakes — a loan document routed to the wrong department, or a check lost in the shuffle — can cause delays, financial loss, or legal exposure. Manual systems increase the likelihood of these mistakes.

4. 🚨 Regulatory Risk

Industries like finance, healthcare, insurance, and legal services are governed by strict compliance frameworks (e.g., HIPAA, SOX, GLBA). Every missed timestamp or undocumented handoff becomes an audit red flag — or worse, a penalty.
