IT Franking

IT franking enables you to handle large volumes of mail and goods dispatch simply, cost-effectively and efficiently using your own computer systems.

IT Franking - all the Advantages of a Systematic Approach

If you send large letter mail volumes every day, use Deutsche Post's DV-FREIMACHUNG (IT franking) service. We recommend it to companies that send more than 4,000 Standard/Kompakt items* (both in standard letter format), 200 oversize Groß/Maxi items or 2000 Standard/Kompakt items* using Data Matrix bar codes and EDI**

Benefits

  • Major discounts on your shipping charges
  • Efficient processing, because the required posting documentation, an itemized invoice and a dispatch plan are automatically generated for every posting of IT-franked items.
  • The total charge is simply debited to your account after posting.
  • And cost transparency is just a keystroke away: the software can accurately calculate the postage charges for you at any time.
  • IT-franked items are ready for dispatch as soon as they have been enveloped.
  • For many corporations, IT franking offers an ideal solution, which, in some cases, can be implemented without any additional investment.
Please use only authorized IT franking software that was verified by DHL Global Mail. You can produce the software yourself and have it verified by DHL Global Mail. Alternatively, you can also use a certified software solution produced by DHL Global Mail's software cooperation partner.

* If the total posted amount comprises more than one job, each of the jobs requires a minimum of 200 items, or a minimum of 100 when using Data matrix and EDI**.

** EDI = Electronic Data Interchange: Deutsche Post offers to electronically submit all necessary documents for DV-franking.
