ITEM 1. BUSINESS
General

Small businesses to large enterprises, and government entities rely on Pitney Bowes to reduce the complexity of sending mail and parcels.
Business Segments

Presort Services
We are the largest workshare partner of the United States Postal Service ("USPS") and national outsource provider of mail sortation services that allow clients to qualify volumes of First-Class Mail, First Class Flats, Marketing Mail and Marketing Mail Flats/Bound Printed Matter for postal workshare discounts. Using our proprietary technology, we provide clients with end-to-end solutions from pick up to delivery into the postal system network, improving mail delivery and enhancing total mail value including optimizing postage savings.
Other
Other represents amounts of the prior Global Ecommerce segment that did not qualify for discontinued operations treatment, primarily related to operations that were dissolved or sold and certain shared services functions. In August 2024, we exited from the Global Ecommerce business through an orderly wind-down of these operations. See Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.
Sales and Services
We market our products, solutions and services through a direct and inside sales force, global and regional partner channels, direct mailings and digital channels. We provide call-center, online and on-site support services for our products and solutions. Support services are primarily provided under maintenance contracts.
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
4
upwards of 15 billion mail pieces annually including a proprietary Mail Exchange program affording clients maximized postage discounts, improved deliverability, and proven business continuity protocols. Clients benefit from our industry expertise at all levels through local Mail Design Professional certified support resources, allowing greater access to programs like United States Postal Service ("USPS") Promotions and Incentives, saving additional costs on mailing and increasing impact of their mail. Additionally, a dedicated postal relations team ensures rapid resolution for quality and compliance. With a fleet of over 350 drivers and vehicles, we provide clients flexible logistics including a unique USPS long-haul partnership made possible by our significant scale and processing volumes, ensuring improved delivery performance and additional safeguards for participating mail, particularly during peak seasons. Our proprietary Presort Services Account offers mail management capabilities from pick-up to invoicing including tracking, reporting, and data ingestion assuring mailers complete visibility and chain of custody. Our competitive capabilities collectively result in unexpected value for mailers.
