5 Million Saved

At an estimated $1.50 per average piece of mail (all costs included), TSI Group Business Development Manager Paul Wilkinson reports that already TSI Group is contributing over $5M dollars of direct cost savings to its clients every year.

"For several years we have been actively incorporating software functionality to enable our clients to use various electronic technologies to communicate with their customers and suppliers", says Wilkinson, "For example we anticipated the growing use of SMS three years ago and built our own SMS infrastructure so we don't have to rely on third party providers."

"Using electronic communications for marketing, administration and other business requirements firstly has the potential to save a huge amount of money, and secondly benefits the environment because every time an email or SMS replaces a letter, stationery is not being used and the transport costs of mail and transport are eliminated."

If current growth patterns continue, within two years Wilkinson predicts a doubling of this cost saving across the TSI Group user base.

 “With over 1500 workshop customers and 400 dealership customers nationwide", he says, "We are seeing the usage of electronic communications of all kinds on the rise. "

“It has become almost more important in today’s business environment to get a valid email address from a new client than their physical address”.
