Production Process Flow

Planet Press (software suite) reads in data from the Access Database. It splits data, via email address list, into printed notifications and e-mail notifications. E-mail notifications will be sent out and a report will be generated. Planet Press compares this report with printed notifications and only processes those that are not e-mailed. The printed notifications are split into Windhoek, Namibia and International and then sorted via programming logic. With spooling software, printed notifications are sent to the printer. After printing, documents are inserted by the Inserter. 

For Quality Assurance and accountability, a Machine-Readable Data File (MRDF) report will show documents that are printed and inserted. This is to ensure every mail item is accounted for and send out to the addressee. Thereafter, mail pieces are inserted into mailbags sorted per town and P O Box and dispatched for distribution. 

Extract of Software Generated Reports:

NamPost Hybrid Mail will make use of its current software suite, Planet Press as well as its Printers and Folding & Inserting machines to process Roads Authority renewal and e-mail notices.
