You will probably of now heard about the phrase “paperless” in terms of information you receive from a company. This may refer to newsletters, invoices and other documents hat previously you would have received in the post. The term paperless means to stop receiving the above in the form of a letter through the post and instead to either receive an email with the documents attached or sometimes allowing you to login to a client area to either view or download the documents yourself.

The main idea of this new mailing system is to not only have a positive impact on the environment by less paper and other consumables being used but to also save the company money. Very often many of the companies that offer paperless billing will pass on a small saving to you to. The downside is that should you need a hard copy of a document you may either need to print it yourself or pay a fee to the company to get a copy of it.
