Abstract

Systems and methods are provided for generating a quality report (570) for a mailing or mailer. A mailer executes a number of jobs in which each job contains a different type or number of submitted mail pieces. The mail pieces of each job is sampled and analyzed (530) to determine the quality of the mailing based on a verification type. The results of the analysis are stored in a database (240) and a report (570) is later generated in response to a request (500). The report (570) includes information (300) that provides for determining the quality of the submitted mailings or for assessing the quality of mail preparation conducted by the mailer.
