ABSTRACT:
A client/server architecture for database driven insertion and mail piece tracking system, method, and computer program product is disclosed. A database is populated with database driven insertion data comprising instructions for handling mailpiece material. A server manages the database by responding to requests for mail processing instructions from clients and storing mailpiece data received from clients. A scanning device reads key code marked mailpiece material in which the key code corresponds to a database location containing instructions for handling mailpiece material. A client processor receives the key code from the scanning device, and transmits a request to the server for accessing the database location containing the instructions for handling mailpiece material. The server retrieves the instructions for handling mailpiece material, and transmits the instructions to the client. The client causes the performance of a mail processing task in accordance with the instructions, gathers mailpiece tracking data as the mailpiece material is processed, and forwards mailpiece tracking data to the server. The database information is accessible to report writing and generating software applications which cull data pertaining to a given mail processing job into a desired format.
