The Problem

Elaine Thomas, Mize CPAs' Purchasing and Mailroom Coordinator, understood the significance of maintaining accurate and secure information in the firm's mailings.

Their mailouts included a variety of documents, such as paychecks, AP billing statements, HIPAA-sensitive medical billing statements, and more.

As the company continued to grow, the need for accuracy and efficiency in mail preparation became increasingly crucial. Furthermore, the aging machines used for these tasks needed an upgrade to keep up with the company's evolving demands.

"We just needed to step it up to better meet our workload," said Thomas. "And then, honestly, we just wore out the machines we were using, so it was time to upgrade."

The Solution

When Mize CPAs looked for a solution to their outbound mailing challenges, they turned to Lineage Accelerate, an expert in document distribution solutions.

Lineage Accelerate, known for its top-of-the-line products and exceptional personal service, offered the perfect solution to meet Mize CPAs' needs. Joe G., a sales professional in Kansas City for Lineage Accelerate, recognized that Mize CPAs required a solution that guaranteed precision, privacy, and efficiency in their mail prep processes. The DS-200i folder/inserter from Lineage Accelerate was identified as the ideal choice, ensuring that critical documents would be handled accurately and securely.

"These are critical pieces of information that go out in these mailings," said Germano. "There's no room for doubts. Our clients don't want those doubts, and their clients won't stand for them, so it's essential that accuracy and privacy be strictly adhered to. The DS-200i offers the precision that Mize CPAs was looking for, and it's been a good match."
