How Files.com Fits With USPS

High-volume mailing and shipping with USPS runs on scheduled file exchange. Electronic Verification System (eVS) manifests and postage statements go up to USPS, Informed Visibility delivers mail-tracking data back, and Move Update and NCOALink address files move in both directions — each over SFTP, on a schedule, in the layout USPS specifies.

Files.com is the SFTP endpoint on both sides of that exchange. Your mailing systems deliver manifests to your Files.com site; an Automation validates each file, converts it to the format USPS expects, and sends it on schedule — then collects the tracking and verification results USPS returns and stages them where your systems read them. Every transfer is logged, every data type is scoped to its own folder, and failed transfers retry instead of missing an induction window.

What You Would Use

Managed SFTP For USPS

Send and retrieve USPS data through a stable, monitored SFTP endpoint with a static IP — no server to patch and no box of your own exposed to the internet.

See File Transfer

Send Manifests On Schedule

An Automation sends eVS manifests and postage statements to USPS on the schedule each program requires, retrieves Informed Visibility and verification results, and retries on failure instead of paging someone.

See Automations

Convert To USPS Formats

Convert and reshape your mailing and shipping data — CSV, XML, and fixed-width — into the manifest and address-file formats USPS specifies, and extract values to route each file, before it goes up.

See Transform & Extract

Audit Every Transfer

Each data type — manifests, tracking, address files — gets its own folder and its own record, with a full log of every file sent to or retrieved from USPS.
