ReCompose

ReCompose

ReCompose software helps mailers improve the appearance, relevance and traceability of documents to make every communication more effective and every mailing process more trackable.

ReCompose is a print stream manipulation software that can modify the appearance of print-ready output without having to re-engineer a legacy billing or statement application. Document modifications are simple, cost effective and ensure closed-loop integrity. With ReCompose, you gain control over the appearance, economy and deliverability of your communications.

Document Changes Can Include:

Design enhancements
  • Dynamic use of fonts, shading and color
  • Application of full-color logos and images to increase brand recognition
  • Repositioning of data to support new forms and document designs
Adding charts
  • Convert document data into easy-to-understand charts, line graphs, pie charts, etc.
Optimize document order and account delivery information
  • Interfacing with postal software for presort discounts
  • Segregating documents into multiple output files for load balancing across multiple printers
Support for item-level tracking solutions
  • Application of bar codes and sequence numbers for unique document identification
  • Generation of control files in all industry-standard formats (IDF, HAL, MRDF) for accurate document tracking and reconciliation
Data format transformation
  • Convert between print and electronic formats and from one vendor’s print format to another, without changing the document appearance
  • Combine data from documents that originate in different files and/or file formats
