Why local councils switch to Postworks

Stretched council budgets shouldn’t fund office printers.

Budgets are shrinking, but you're overpaying for clunky software

Every penny of public funding counts. You shouldn’t have to pay a premium for a system that makes your job harder.

You manage data securely, but send letters into a black hole

You’d never rely on guesswork for council records. Yet, thousands of critical letters are sent without tracking, visibility, or undeniable proof they actually arrived.

You’re committed to Net Zero, but your mailing provider isn't

It’s hard to hit government sustainability targets when your outsourced mail still leaves a heavy carbon footprint.

You need to communicate quickly, but wait on IT to fix a typo

When residents need urgent updates, a week-long back-and-forth just to change a letter template is frustrating. Your team should be able to make edits in seconds and get the post out today.

Why make sending post harder than it needs to be?

Still wrangling clunky systems, confusing workflows, or spending hours on admin? With Postworks, there’s none of that. Our platform is so simple, you’ll be up and running in minutes – no training, no jargon, just drag and drop.

Proof when you need it

When delivery is challenged, councils need clear, defensible evidence.

Every communication includes certified proof of postage, with a timestamp from the Royal Mail network.

Records are easy to access, audit and rely on when it matters most.
