# FloorPulse > Production visibility software for Mail Service Providers ## What it is FloorPulse is on-premises software that eliminates manual paperwork on the mailing production floor. It consumes mail.dat files directly from presort software, enables barcode-driven on-demand tray tag and pallet placard printing, and provides real-time production visibility to every workstation via a web browser. ## The problem it solves Mail Service Provider facilities generate tray tags, pallet placards, and production reports for every presort run. These are printed in batch on a laser printer, collated by hand, and walked to the production floor. About 25% of jobs require reprocessing, which means recalling all old paperwork and replacing it. At a mid-volume shop running 15 jobs per week, this adds up to approximately 29 eight-hour days per year spent on paperwork alone. ## How it works 1. Drop a mail.dat ZIP into a watched folder. The job is live in seconds. 2. Operators scan a piece or tray barcode. FloorPulse matches it against the mail.dat and prints the tray tag on demand. 3. When all trays in a pallet are scanned, the pallet placard generates automatically. 4. If a job is reprocessed, drop the new mail.dat. FloorPulse detects the duplicate, verifies no production activity, and replaces the old data. No old paperwork to recall. ## Key capabilities - Consumes mail.dat files from any presort software (BCC, Anchor, Accuzip, others) - Supports multiple USPS IDEAlliance mail.dat schema versions - Drives thermal printers (Zebra ZPL, Microcom LDS) and network laser printers directly - Browser-based access from any device — tablets, phones, desktops - On-premises deployment on a single machine — no cloud, no external dependencies - Real-time production progress visible to all workstations and supervisors - Duplicate mail.dat detection with safe replacement logic - Eliminates pre-tagging errors, paperwork recall, and mismatch risks ## Market There are approximately 4,000 Mail Service Provider facilities in the United States that process mail using presort software and mail.dat files. Most handle tray tagging and pallet placards manually. FloorPulse is purpose-built for these facilities — affordable, simple to deploy, and requires no specialized IT staff. ## Deployment Self-contained Linux appliance. Tag printer, network laser for placards, browser-based configuration. No database server to provision.
