Digital Mailroom and Accelerated Check Processing Enable Smith Systems to Streamline Operations and Improve Cash Flow
Smith Systems is a growing enterprise in the driver training and commercial licensing space. As operations expanded, the organization faced increasing challenges tied to legacy mail-handling processes and financial document management. To stay agile and improve operational efficiency, they turned to Imaging Office Systems (IOS) for a reliable and scalable solution.
The Challenge
To support business growth and facility changes, Smith Systems sought to streamline their physical mail intake and financial processing. The traditional paper-based approach to receiving and distributing mail was causing operational slowdowns, lost documents, and unnecessary overhead. Additionally, the manual handling of checks—critical to their cash flow—created delays in deposits, impacting financial operations.
Key Issues Included:
- Inefficient Mail Distribution across departments and sites
- Delayed Check Deposits slowing down incoming revenue
- Manual Sorting requiring excessive staff hours
- Mail Handling Risks such as misplaced or lost documents
- Limited Remote Accessibility to incoming correspondence
Smith Systems needed a centralized, digital-first approach to mail processing that would eliminate redundancies, increase speed, and improve security—without disrupting core business operations.
Project Requirements:
- Redirect all organizational mail to a single, managed PO Box
- Securely open and scan all incoming documents
- Deliver digitized mail contents through a secure, searchable platform
- Identify and fast-track any checks for expedited deposit
- Enable remote staff access to digital records
- Minimize time and cost commitments tied to in-house mail management
How Smith Systems Benefited from Working with Imaging Office Systems
“I couldn’t be happier with the ease of the mailroom delivery and if I had had an issue, it was not an issue for long. Everyone was extremely helpful, and I really appreciate it! This is my first experience with an electronic mailroom service, and I wasn’t sure what to expect, but it has been a breeze.”

The Solution
IOS deployed a customized Digital Mailroom Solution tailored to Smith Systems’ unique operational footprint. Built for efficiency, scalability, and secure handling, the solution transformed their paper mail challenges into a streamlined digital workflow.
Mail Redirection to IOS
A dedicated PO Box was established and managed by IOS. All incoming mail—previously sorted manually at the client site—was rerouted directly to IOS facilities, removing the burden of in-house delivery and hands-on processing.
Envelope Opening & Document Scanning
IOS professionals opened each envelope daily and scanned its contents using enterprise-class document imaging systems. Scanned files were indexed and categorized for swift review and delivery.
Secure Digital Delivery
All digital mail items were transmitted to Smith Systems via an encrypted digital platform, ensuring secure, immediate access for authorized staff regardless of location.
Check Identification and Fast-Track Handling
Incoming checks were identified at point-of-scan. After documentation, they were securely overnighted to the appropriate finance destination. This ensured faster deposits and minimal cash flow disruption.
The Bottom Line
By partnering with IOS, Smith Systems modernized their mail-handling infrastructure, enabling more secure, efficient, and responsive operations. The Digital Mailroom solution transformed essential business processes—and positioned the organization for continued growth with a scalable and adaptable workflow.
