Competition
SendTech Solutions
We face competition from other mail equipment and solutions providers and those that offer online shipping and mailing products and services solutions. We differentiate ourselves through the breadth of our physical and digital offerings, including cloud-based software platforms designed to support complex, high-volume, multi-carrier shipping and mailing operations, an open platform architecture; competitive pricing; available financing and payment solutions; product reliability; support services; and our extensive knowledge of the shipping and mailing industry.
Our financing operations face competition, in varying degrees, from large, diversified financial institutions, leasing companies, commercial finance companies, commercial banks and smaller specialized firms. We believe what differentiates us from our competitors is the breadth of our financing and payment solutions and our ability to seamlessly integrate these solutions into our clients' shipping and mailing operations.
Presort Services
We face competition from regional and local presort providers, cooperatives of multiple local presort providers, consolidators and service bureaus that offer presort solutions as part of a larger bundle of outsourcing services. We also face competition from large mailers that have sufficient volumes and the capability to sort their own mailings in-house and could use excess capacity to offer presort services to others. The principal competitive factors include price, innovative service, delivery speed, tracking and reporting, industry expertise and economies of scale. Our competitive advantages include our national network of processing centers handling
