Informed Visibility Mail Tracking and Reporting

The The Informed Visibility® Mail Tracking and Reporting (IV^®-MTR) application provides election officials with near-real-time tracking and enhanced visibility of uniquely barcoded mailpieces as they move through the mailstream. IV-MTR is flexible, so you receive data when and how you want. It is also powerful, enabling you to better plan Election Mail mailings and resources, measure success of each mailing, staff efficiently, and instill confidence in voters that use vote-by-mail.

IV-MTR expands visibility beyond physical scans of mailpieces by leveraging the intelligence of Full-Service Intelligent Mail® and nesting associations. The application creates assumed handling events for nested mail whenever the mail aggregate containing the nested mail is scanned. For example, the scan of a pallet creates assumed events for the trays and pieces that are associated with that pallet.

Barcoding mailpieces with unique serial numbers enables visibility of individual pieces. To make the most of IVMTR, abide by proper mail preparation and barcoding requirements. Full-service requirements and Intelligent Mail barcode (IMb) guidance are available on PostalPro at https://postalpro.usps.com/node/2788 and https:// postalpro.usps.com/mailing#cat-subsection-2.
