The Challenge

ABT Mailcom has earned a reputation for delivering complex, high-volume billing and mailing services for over 80 utility and community clients. With print runs ranging from hundreds to 15,000+ records, their operations demanded precision and timeliness.

But as client volumes grew, so did operational bottlenecks. Manual file handling, proofing inefficiencies, and production delays began to slow down turnaround. ABT’s goals included:

  • Reducing manual file movement and error-prone processes
  • Streamlining proofing and approval cycles
  • Increasing efficiency in postal prep and batching
  • Building a scalable system to support long-term automation

The Solution

Hansen360 partnered with Solimar Systems to modernize ABT Mailcom’s production workflow by delivering a complete automation stack in just six weeks.

Rapid Implementation

Solimar's platform was installed and configured within days, giving Hansen360 a ready environment to design an end-to-end workflow tailored for utility billing jobs.

Seamless File Transfer with ShareFile

ABT customers now upload billing files via Citrix ShareFile—a secure, centralized entry point. These files automatically flow into Solimar’s system with zero manual intervention.

Smaller Files, Faster Proofs

Using ReadyPDF, large PDF files are reduced by up to 75% in size, speeding up client reviews and eliminating email bottlenecks.

Automation with Rubika + SOLfusion

Hansen360 configured Rubika and SOLfusion modules to:

  • Cleanse and presort addresses
  • Segment jobs by customer, ZIP code, or page count
  • Apply inserter control marks
  • Batch jobs based on SLA and roll sizes
  • Optimize postal costs with householding and deduplication
Structured Onboarding & Training

Automation was introduced in phases ensuring accuracy, QA checkpoints, and client confidence every step of the way.

The Results

From Hours to Minutes

Tasks that took 4–5 hours per billing cycle now run in minutes. The staff simply watches as the workflow handles everything—from file intake to print-ready output.

Lightning-Fast Proofing

ReadyPDF drastically improved approval cycles. Bloated emails are a thing of the past, and inbox overloads are no longer an issue.

Postal & Production Savings
  • Address cleansing + presort = real postage savings
  • Smart batching = less downtime and waste
  • Automation = more jobs handled without adding staff
A Platform for Growth

What began as a tactical fix evolved into a strategic advantage—a scalable, modernized system that empowers ABT to take on more clients and larger jobs confidently.
