Franking systems with the latest technology
Film: IFS – the latest technological standard for intelligent franking machines
Important information
An intelligent franking system (IFS) is suitable for business customers who frank an average of five letters a day or more. IFS is particularly worthwhile for large volumes – for example, when sending invoices, orders or customer information.
The use of an intelligent franking system is governed by a contractual agreement with Swiss Post. To transfer the franking data, you need an Internet connection depending on the type of device (IP, LAN or Wi-Fi). Franking machines that meet Swiss Post requirements are permitted.
