The service is very good but a little slow even with the default profiles set up, could maybe look at improving how quickly it is to send a letter and approve to post.
Also maybe a service that allows us to set a time at which any letters in pending can be automatically sent, so no letters get missed? This is a service that your competitors can offer.

I have used Docmail for over 5 years for Flu, NHS Health check and other mailing campaigns and for us it is the best targeted way of getting patients through the door. I find it easy to use and adapt depending on clinic call in structures and prefer it to SMS text or posters and every year pays for itself as all clinics full and every Qof and disease area requiring flu is met, and exceeded - this with minimal training and probably using under 10% of its potential use.

We use the Docmail print driver to send our letters. This works well but we do wish the print driver was a little more user friendly. There is an option to send letters in a plain envelope rather than a window envelope but we have never managed to get this to work as it's a concealed option, which if more user friendly we would use more.

Had a few problems with Docmail on my computer (eventually found out it was an unresolvable problem with the PC hard drive) and had to call quite a lot over a 2 week period. Found that most the staff were very helpful, remotely logged into my computer and tried to help to the best of their abilities. There was one staff member who tried to talk me through things but kept putting me on hold very frequently and unsure of how to help me but he did sound fairly new to the role which can be appreciated. With regards to actual docmail letter sending service we have never had a problem and it is easy to top balances up. Great service.

We use Docmail as much as we can for patient correspondence. The cost of a letter, which includes their paper, toner and postage, is little more than the cost of postage and it saves staff time. As flu season is on us we contact Docmail to send 2000 letters to patients, so the cost saving is obvious.

We are a big practice we have been able to save a great deal of admin time using Docmail.

We have had some patients tell us that they did not receive a letter and also had some with blank letters. Unfortunately we were not able to trace the root of these problems. At the time though we were sending thousands of letters out.

Everything has went well since we started Docmail, although what wasn't explained to us was that if the address had 2 towns on the same line e.g. Dalmuir, Clydebank it costs you more for postage.

We are new to using the service so it is still taking us longer than anticipated the issues we have come across are that we have so many letters that need to be put onto letterheads and set up as profile letters but once this is done it should be easier. Mono as default would be very advantageous a couple of letters have already been sent in error using colour. Also a number of the letters we send out have a pathology request form attached or a disclaimer so we are not sure how to overcome this and indeed we would then have to go into a 2 page document at additional cost.

Using Docmail is a great way to save administrative time and money. Mail is processed quickly and professionally and we even receive information about undeliverable post (very important when trying to maintain a 'clean' list). In our case we needed to change the layout of our headed paper in order to fit the 'address box' correctly, but in fact we now think the paper looks better. The learning curve was extremely slight and staff were able to use the system with minimal support even on the first day. It is very easy to add further users and the system is more secure than using stamps or a franking machine. We are very glad we made the change.

Docmail has worked very well for us over the last couple of years making it easier (and cheaper) to send out either single or bulk letters to our patients. Unfortunately when our main medical record system changed recently, we were very disappointed to note that it was not currently compatable with docmail - which is, as i understand, not docmail's fault. We still use it for larger mail outs but because of the more long-winded process it is not efficient for sending out individual letters.

We have been using Docmail for a few years now. We started off by using it just for our flu letters but now use it for chronic disease recalls, etc. too. We have always found the service to be excellent and the mailshot process easy to do. The only negative we have is the verification of addresses. This now seems to be a lot harder than it used to be with a few addresses every time being rejected but when you try to do an autocorrect you find that it can take the house name out and leave just the street name so we have to leave those as they are and pay the higher postage. Apart from that the service is excellent.

Docmail has been a great saving for us, both in money and just as importantly in time. It has generally worked faultlessly, but on the one occasion when it went wrong (most likely because of a problem with the computer here) the support staff were helpful and prompt in helping to sort it out.

Docmail is excellent. We regularly have to send out large quantities of mailings and the prior checking facility with warnings about bad addresses etc, is excellent. We also like being able to preview what goes out. We will continue to use Docmail in the future and we continue to recommend it.

Our surgery has been using Docmail for about 4 years for all our recalls, including the seasonal flu campaign. I had concerns about what the contractual arrangements might be and the term of a contract. There is none, it is simple a pay as you go service. It beats the costs on postage, even though we have a franking machine. It saves hours of time by taking full control of production. Setting up takes time, as with all computer programmes, but once the basics are in place it is essentially a bulk online mail merge facility. The staff are very helpful if you get stuck, and I have no hesitation in recommending the company and its service.

Docmail is very cost effective and reliable. Will look forward to using it linked to clinical system as takes a bit of time at present to upload patient details manually. But will be using docmail over stamps for a long time.

The system is simple to use and cost effective. We use the system for sending out our monthly chronic disease recalls and flu letters etc. Not only do we save costs on postage, as each letter costs less than a 2nd class stamp, we also save on stationary and expensive toners for printers. Of course you also benefit from having a further member of staff available as they are not spending hours printing, enveloping and stamping letters! We have now been using Docmail for 3 years without any problems and would recommend giving it a try - what have you got to lose?

Docmail has transformed my way of working, both in saving time and reducing costs. Costs reduction is applied to postage, my working hours used folding paper, filling envelopes and sticking on stamps (nightmare!), the amount of paper and ink used etc etc. The templates are easy to create, and once uploaded the process is easy and quick to create documents. Docmail support is very good - all questions and queries are answered quickly and knowledgeably. Thank you Docmail!

I have been using this service for 2 years now, and uploaded almost 15000 letters. The saving in time and cost to the practice is huge, especially for large mailings. I do not use the individual letter option, only the batch mailing. Saving your own templates in the Docmail library also speeds things up. Anytime I have a query I call the Helpdesk and get a real person who has always sorted any issue very quickly. You also have enough of a time window to recall a batch if you realise you have made a mistake with the mailing list or letter.

I have found Docmail to be an invaluable tool in the surgery I work in, the menu options to select are very self explanatory and I have trained several other staff members in using it very easily. The only thing I have noticed is that several times the site seems to be down, which is a shame as I would definetly consider using it more.

As we are a large practice with 3 surgeries we have found that by using Docmail for our monthly recalls it has saved both time & money. This method of mailing is fantastic for both large & small numbers. The only problem we have experienced is setting up the templates which can be challenging! Highly recommend you give Docmail a go.

5* Docmail is a superb cost saver in both time and materials. It is used by admin staff to send hundreds of letters that would otherwise need to be printed, put in an envelope, franked, and put for postal collection. With Docmail a single letter takes 5 seconds! The time savings with mass mailing is even greater - Thousands of letters can be sent in a morning (eg. Flu invites.) with just a little prep in Excel. Its very reliable too - I've never seen the system go down.

I have been using this services for a number of years and for large mailing such as the flu vac invitations I would not return to an in-house solution. We find that we are increasingly using the service for one-off letters where using the Docmail print driver makes it as eay to send to Domail as to the printer by my desk. The only slight negative is that I am not always clear how it calculates the prices as I can do two runs with the same number of letters and there may be a slight difference in the price. However, for the simple single page letters that we usually do it is always cheaper than sticking stamps on.

On the whole, an excellent service offered. The financial benefit is undisputable, however we do find that with larger mailings, larger than say 50, there seem to be quite a few letters that go astray. I would recommend Docmail to anyone, it is always appreciated when we are seen as a loyal customer. Whenever we have had cause to phone Docmail, staff are always extremely helpful.
