On the one hand, this process has to be completed quickly and efficiently, and thus be automated wherever possible. On the other hand, the respective item must be handled both with great care and with total reliability, in order that the right contents reach the correct recipient in a complete and intact delivery. Requirements Every customer and every mailroom has their own individual requirements in terms of the complexity, flexibility, productivity, intelligence and integrity of the systems and software modules used to deal with everyday tasks. Our bread-and-butter operations consist of satisfying all these requirements and engaging with the respective particular features and wishes of individual customers in their various countries. Creating added value We are good listeners. Your aspirations and requirements are the driving force behind our development team which strives to convert them into standardized solutions. In doing so, we aspire to create real added value for our customers through an innovative approach. By building on the close partnership with our customers and the experience and skills of our staff, we can achieve high levels of customer satisfaction and thus secure our collective success in the long term. 4 Security Applii c a t i o n Dive rsity Flexibility Card Mailing Responsibility Quatttro Versatility BIPS Software Performance Transparency VEKtor R e a d ing Te c h nology Document Marathon Communication A p p l i c a t i o n Dive e r s i ty Performance Mailroom Ease of Use Agility OUR SERVICE COMPETENCE | ABOVE AND BEYOND THE NORM Global presence with local competence Service has been very high on the agenda at BÖWE SYSTEC for many years.

It goes without saying that we are on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. 5 OUR QUALITY STANDARDS | IN EVERY DETAIL “Quality begins by placing customer satisfaction at the center of our thinking.” (John F. Akers, former CEO of IBM) The customer sets the standards This is why our quality aspirations are driven largely by the requirements and wishes of our customers. Far from aiming merely to satisfy expectations, we want to exceed them. And quality affects every single area of our company: market analysis and strategy, planning and development, manufacture and assembly, communications and consulting, customer care and service, as well as many others besides. The smallest detail counts Everyone plays a part Each employee assumes responsibility for the quality of the work performed on a daily basis. State-of-the-art manufacturing technologies lay the perfect foundations for a successful production environment. Open communications and the ongoing optimization of all corporate processes guarantee premium, leading-edge products and services. That’s the level of quality that our customers expect of us. Certified quality management Since 1991, our company has regularly been certified according to the internationally recognized DIN EN ISO 9001 quality standard – a result of the comprehensive and efficient work performed in the field of quality by management as well as all our staff around the globe. 6 Processing Security Applii c a t i o n Dive rsity Flexibility Card Mailing Responsibility Quatttro Versatility BIPS Software Performance Transparency VEKtor R e a d ing Te c h nology Document Marathon Communication A p p l i c a t i o n Dive e r s i ty Performance Mailroom Ease of Use Agility RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT | STRENGTH THROUGH INNOVATION High aspirations Our teams of developers have been making every effort to create the right solution for you over the past decades. Our customers’ special requirements are the engine that drives us in our daily work. These requirements come directly from the market.

This has resulted in an extremely modular product portfolio which allows customer requirements to be implemented efficiently. State of the art Requirements and applications are constantly changing with the passage of time. We thus set great store by placing our existing systems and modules under close scrutiny at regular intervals: concepts are adapted on an ongoing basis, existing functions enhanced and new technologies incorporated into our systems. This is all done using state-ofthe-art tools such as 3D-CAD, FEM and analysis programs. Development results are validated in line with Six Sigma in our test laboratories with their modern facilities. Visions for the future We are already thinking about how the mailroom of the future might look. What does the customer need today and tomorrow? Where will the journey take us? We take our bearings from the spirit of the age. Thus new areas, such as software, have been added over recent decades, while plans have been made to develop others, such as sorting. We aim to act as a trendsetter in respect of existing and new hardware and software products alike, and to become the market leader in these fields. 7 Inserting Communication Logistics Flexibility BÖWEOne Integrated Solutions BICOS Modularity Turbo Premium Family Quality C l o s e d L o o p Va r i o I t e m Tr a c k i n g S e r v i c e I n s e r t i n g D o c u m e n t Sales Flexibility Integrity Performance Quality Application Diversity Integrityy OUR PRODUCTS | COMPREHENSIVE EXPERT KNOW-HOW FOR YOUR MAILROOM Whatever your requirements, our leading-edge products and services bring greater efficiency, speed and transparency to your mailroom.

The number of mail service providers has risen since the liberalization of the European postal markets, with all providers facing the same challenges: the presorting of large volumes of letters in order to ensure postage discounts, the non heterogeneous nature of mixed mail, the electronic recording of all mailpieces, and seamless mail tracking for detailed billing for mass mailers are just some of the tasks to be mastered. Our partly and fully automated sorting systems perform logistically perfected letter sorting as well as postal validation according to individually selectable criteria for this target group.
