Ensuring Efficient and Effective Digital Migration in Franking Technology

Pitney Bowes launched its first digital franking machine in India in 2010. Since then, there have been many transformations in technology that made the digital franking machines more user-friendly. Pitney Bowes digital franking machines have helped the users to migrate from electronic to digital platform.

Pitney Bowes India has recently launched the latest and updated version of DM Series digital franking machines, duly approved by India Post. The new digital franking machine is feature-packed and future-proof.
