Read the illustration as a workflow example
The workspace illustration uses sample correspondence to explain the proposed relationship between letters, folders, actions and evidence. Its counters and records are examples, not live customer information. The preview does not sign you in, save a document, send a letter or grant access to a customer account.
Use the illustration to discuss what each person in your organisation needs to see. A preparer may need drafts and review tasks, a manager may need an approval queue, and an administrator may need a broader operational view. Identify the decisions behind those screens before focusing on particular visual controls. If you want to discuss access or a business workflow, contact the team with an anonymised example. The separate application will need its own integration and acceptance checks before public account links are connected.
Reports that explain what is happening
A correspondence dashboard should show meaningful numbers, not decorative counters. Total letters, received items, sent items, overdue follow-ups, queued postal orders and actual postage expenditure can give a useful operational picture. Each KPI needs a clear definition so that a draft is not mistaken for a dispatched document and an estimated charge is not shown as settled spending.
For business users, filters by date, department, case or responsible team member may reveal bottlenecks. Reporting should be permission-aware and based on source records. The system should be able to explain how any number was calculated and provide a route to the underlying authorised activity.
Postal progress and email progress are separate
Sending one letter by post and email creates two delivery journeys. An email service may accept a message without confirming that anyone opened it. A postal order can be paid for and printed before it is handed to a carrier, and carrier handover does not necessarily mean final delivery. Epistles should show these stages separately and record the source of each status.
The customer should be able to understand what is completed, what is still pending and what needs attention. If an email bounces but the postal letter is dispatched, the correspondence record should show both facts, not one misleading green tick. This level of clarity helps people decide whether to follow up, correct an address or retain supporting evidence.
