Intelligent Mail

The Intelligent Mail barcode (formerly known as the 4-State Customer Barcode) is the next generation of USPS barcode technology used to sort and track letters and flats. Intelligent Mail barcode technology, among other things, combines the capabilities of the POSTNET barcode and the PLANET Code barcode into one unique barcode.

SmartBarcode Manager uses Anchor's proprietary technology to allow users to create Intelligent Mail barcodes for files generated by any presort, permitting users to manage their unique Intelligent Mail serial numbers within a single Mailer ID or across multiple mailings for the same Mailer ID. SmartBarcode Manager helps companies manage the entire Intelligent Mail barcode process. It works with presorted files generated by Anchor Software’s MaxPresort or any software vendor’s presort system.
