Explained: The Digital Mailroom Operation Process

 Remote working culture and COVID-19's acceleration of digital transformation activities make digital mailrooms more in demand than ever.

Many companies still get tens of thousands of pieces of mail each month, which forces them to develop ways to make their inbound business mail available to remote employees the same day it is received.
