The launch of Enterprise IMB™ Unique ID Generator, a software product designed to enable system-wide implementation of unique mail piece identifiers for the new USPS Intelligent Mail® Barcode (IMB) has been announced by the award-winning provider of TransPromo and transactional document and mailing solutions, Crawford Technologies Inc. Companies using the Unique ID Generator can more easily generate and administer unique mail piece identifiers and expand the benefits of their migration to IMB Full Service options.

Enterprise IMB™ Unique ID Generator is a server-based solution that provides an API that allows document composition systems, postal pre-sort software, and all other applications which need to generate IMBs, to interface directly and receive IMB unique identifier data. The solution is engineered to service multiple enterprise applications and systems simultaneously with extremely high processing speeds. A GUI interface allows users to obtain IDs and ranges directly from the system while a batch utility provides the ability to automate legacy applications.

The new IMB will soon be required for companies looking to earn the maximum USPS postal discounts. Organizations find that they can benefit even further, however, with the ability to track their correspondence through the postal delivery system with the USPS IMB Full Service plan using identifiers created and administered via Enterprise™ IMB Unique ID Generator.

President of CrawfordTech, Ernie Crawford, stated: "Unique identifiers are a key enabler of a number of important process improvements." He continued: "The ability to know where a certain mail piece is in the system at any given time brings a wealth of enterprise advantages beyond simply maintaining postal automation discounts."
