Invoice and Statement production and mail

Invoices & Statements

Hygrade Business Group provides the benefits of outsourcing by developing focused data, print and mail solutions for your critical communications. With more than 25 years of experience in this area, we are uniquely positioned to provide seamless solutions. We offer industry-leading processing and document delivery solutions that meet your business communications needs.

We can interface with all major software platforms in the marketplace today. You can post your files on our secure FTP site, and we will program your data to fit your form. We then supply a PDF proof of the final document. Once approved, your document can be delivered electronically or printed, folded, inserted into your envelope, and mailed with any additional stuffers.

At Hygrade Business Group, we understand your business. These vital transactions are very time-sensitive and are the lifeblood of your organization. Therefore, our primary focus is getting your transactional documents in the mail fast. We realize missing even one transaction can cost valuable revenue.
 
That is why we guarantee 100% of your files are mailed. By utilizing our NCOA address cleansing, CASS presorting software, and intelligent barcodes, Hygrade Business Group enhances deliverability and tracking of your mail by identifying incorrect or outdated address information before your piece reaches the mail stream.
Hygrade offers a comprehensive portfolio of solutions in addition to statements and invoices: Tax bill processing, forms and commercial printing, direct mail services, postal optimization, fulfillment services, and letter shop services.
Hygrade provides high-volume direct mail services with a complete range of capabilities, including commercial printing, envelope printing, forms printing, laser and inkjet printing, and intelligent inserting options for an integrated one-source solution.

Data Management

If you are concerned whether or not an outsource vendor can handle your data, you should be. Data is the lifeblood of your business, and entrusting it with someone without proven expertise and secure facilities can be disastrous. At Hygrade, your data is handled by professionals with more than 25 years of experience in data processing and programming. Our facility is secure and is SOC 2 certified.

We have never met a data source that we could not convert; even if you run a homegrown propriety system, we can handle it. Here are some well-known systems that we are currently working with:

  • Broadridge – B228
  • Beta
  • CRI
  • SIS
  • DST – Mutual fund backend
  • PFPC – Mutual fund backend
  • Phase 3
  • SEI – Trust Co. System
  • Credit Union System

We can sort, process, calculate, and validate the client’s data using custom proprietary software for each client. Once the data has been converted and validated for accuracy, it is stored in a robust relational database. Unlike on a mainframe, all the data within the database can be queried and acted upon. This flexibility lets you look at the data in meaningful ways for your clients and your business.

Our Data Services include:

Programming

  • Software development
  • Customized mainframe coding
  • Database design and querying

Data Integration

  • Extraction of your data from a variety of storage sources
  • Merge and validate your data into usable information
  • Present formatted information to clients and employees

Presentment

  • Format, output and manage your data
  • Provide professional, personalized quality documents
  • Electronic documents

Invoice & Statement Quality Control and Security

When working with sensitive customer information, we understand nothing is more important than keeping that information safe and making 100% sure it is delivered only to the intended recipient. That’s why all our facilities are SOC 2 certified and completely secure.

Utilizing the latest barcode technology (3 of 9 and 2D) we insure that the complete document gets stuffed into the envelope. We go 1 step further, employing cameras at the end of each inserter to double check that each document is accounted for and that there is never the dreaded “double stuff”. Anything other than zero defects is not an option.
