An estimated saving of 10% can be generally real ized <br /> wi th these uni t s because of th e i r extreme accuracy. " <br /> (The Office magazine, August 1982) <br /> "Electronic scales are designed and priced for both the high and low <br /> volume user, and are especially effective i n operations handling a <br /> large number of parcels... i t is estimated t na t a company can save <br /> from 15% to 20% in mailroom costs after switching from a mechanical <br /> scale to an electronic scale". <br /> (DataPro Research Corporation, September 1982) <br /> "While an old-fashioned mechanical scale is certainly better than <br /> guesswork, such a device is to the modern electronic scale what <br />. Grandma's manual tYPtOrwriter i s to todays' word processor...Studies <br /> show that mech~nical scale u'ers pay an average of 1590 in posfage <br /> overpayments which accumulate in time due to faulty scales ana human <br /> judgement". <br /> (Case &. Comment, January 1984) <br /> n(Processing outgoing mail): Letter and parcel weighing systems that <br /> use digital readouts and microcomputers dramatically cut time spent <br /> on th is tedious mailroom duty and therby reduce human errors. <br /> Typical postage payments are inflated by 12% to 15%, mo s tl y due to <br /> employees choosing a higher rate when the mechanical scale i s too <br /> imprecise to judge between two rates. Thus, dig i tal meters often pay <br /> for themselves jus t by eliminating t his error factor". <br /> ( Small Business Re p 0 r t , December 19 b 3 ) <br /> "We found tha t before installing the E:-.1S-70 Electronic scale we were <br /> pliying 15% too much for postage.. .wi th the installation of the EMS- <br /> 70. which electronically weighs mai 1 and di splays the correct rate <br /> and zone number for the desired method of shipping, these mistakes <br /> have been vi rually el imi na ted". <br /> (Tandy Corporation, in Office Products News) <br /> YES! !
