SendPro Tablet Solution
The shipping solution uses the large Samsung Galaxy Tab A tablet
pre-loaded with the SendPro Online app, and paired with a wireless
keyboard, wireless label printer, and 70 lb. scale. It is secured
for enterprise use with Samsung Knox – the company’s defense-grade
security platform – which was a key element in Pitney Bowe’s
selection of Samsung for its first SendProTablet solution. The
platform is also supported by Knox Configure, making it easy for IT
managers to send regular software updates, ensure the smooth
functioning of applications, and provide customers with a seamless
customer experience.
“The SendPro Tablet represents the next step in the evolution of
office shipping and mailing to better meet the needs of today’s
businesses,” said Jason Dies, EVP and President, Pitney Bowes
Sending Technology Solutions. “By combining our shipping expertise
with Samsung’s leadership in mobile technology and security, this
introduces the digital innovations necessary to optimize portable
smart technology and help our increasingly mobile clients get the
flexibility to send from virtually anywhere in their office. This
essentially removes the need for employees to be anchored to their
desks or the mailroom.”
Other cutting-edge capabilities of the solution include:
- Cameras on the front (5MP) and rear (8MP) that enable clients
to pre-populate shipping information easily by taking a picture of
an address.
- The Rate Selector that allows clients to compare rates across
major carriers to easily pick the best option – including cost and
delivery time – to fulfill their needs.
- A long-lasting battery, optimized by a powerful Octa-core
processor and a beautiful high-resolution screen.
- Flexibility and mobility to print shipping labels from any
location in an office or facility.
“We are proud to collaborate with Pitney Bowes to create the
first tablet-based SendPro shipping solution that transforms how
businesses manage their shipping processes in today’s digital era,”
said Taher Behbehani, Head of B2B Mobile, Samsung Electronics
America. “Samsung’s enterprise tablet solutions help companies
empower their mobile workforce to overcome real-world challenges,
and this is a prime example of how we join with partners in our
open ecosystem to help enterprises digitize their business
practices in productive new ways.”
SendPro Tablet delivers a unique client experience, unmatched in
today’s mobile business world. The multi-carrier platform enables
businesses of all sizes to easily select the ideal sending option
for everything they send, with access to exclusive discounts not
available at the post office or carrier storefronts, saving
businesses both time and money. Full shipment tracking and spend
history across carriers is also available in one, convenient
interface.
“The SendPro Tablet creates efficiencies that save our business
time and money on each package we send,” said Cynthia Reed, Firm
Administrator, Bucheri McCarthy and Metz LLP. “The reports provide
us with the ability to understand and control shipping expenses,
allowing us to spend in other areas of the business.”
About the SendPro Portfolio As the latest addition to
Pitney Bowes SendPro family of products, the SendPro Tablet is the
result of the foundational work Pitney Bowes has done over the last
few years to create products that meet and exceed clients evolving
shipping and sending needs. In 2015, the company introduced the
original SendPro Online application, the first-of-its-kind, cloud
based multi-carrier shipping solution for the modern office. The
SendPro P-Series launched in July of 2016, integrating shipping and
mailing and managing incoming deliveries for high volume senders.
In 2017, the SendPro C was launched, bringing that same
multi-carrier shipping, mailing and tracking capabilities down
market to businesses looking to simplify their shipping and mailing
while reducing costs. The open platform allows third party
developers to build applications, which exponentially increases
Pitney Bowe’s ability to create value for its clients.
