What is vFound Parcels?

vFound Parcels is a cutting-edge, online mailroom management system designed for diverse environments such as apartment complexes, university mailrooms, corporate offices, coworking spaces, hotels, and multi-tenant properties. The platform simplifies the process for staff by allowing them to easily scan barcodes or capture images of delivery labels, verify recipient information and tracking details, assign storage locations, and dispatch notifications to recipients through email. Each individual receives access to a customized pickup portal where they can view pending parcels, use collection codes, set reminders, specify hold dates, or authorize others to collect their deliveries. Furthermore, staff members can manage a live pickup queue, collect signatures and optional photos upon pickup, print parcel and shelf labels, track shelf space utilization, record outgoing courier transfers, and perform signed delivery rounds. The system also includes powerful reporting features and CSV export functions, empowering teams to effectively analyze parcel inflow and collections. Fully operational in a web browser, vFound Parcels seamlessly integrates with other vFound solutions, ensuring a unified directory and workspace; it specifically focuses on managing parcel intake and transfers, rather than handling courier bookings or postage purchases. This holistic approach not only streamlines operations but also significantly enhances the experience for both staff and recipients alike, fostering improved communication and efficiency throughout the parcel management process.

What is PBRS Power BI Reports Distribution?

Give every customer, manager or business location the reports they need without repeatedly exporting, assembling and sending files. PBRS (Power BI Report Scheduler) from ChristianSteven Software helps BI and IT teams turn recurring reporting requirements into managed workflows. Choose the reports, define the recipient rules and configure how the results should arrive. Data-driven (Dynamic) schedules can read a database query or JSON data to select report contents, adjust filters and parameters, personalize filenames and messages, and determine each destination. Update the source data as requirements change instead of maintaining a separate schedule for every recipient. Combine several outputs into one delivery: attachments in a single email, a ZIP package, a merged PDF with bookmarks or an Excel workbook containing multiple tabs where supported. Generate PDF, Excel and CSV outputs, including formatted and template-based Excel files. Apply PDF passwords and encryption before distribution. Send results to employees, customers and partners through email, Microsoft Teams, SharePoint, cloud storage, secure file transfer, shared folders, Slack or printers. People receiving exported files do not need Power BI access. Control when work runs through recurring timetables, custom business calendars or supported operational triggers. Coordinate dataset refresh with report generation so delivery follows refresh completion. Configurable retries, failure notifications, execution history and blank-report handling help administrators oversee automated jobs. PBRS is a Windows application supporting Power BI Service, Report Server, Paginated Reports and Microsoft SSRS. Its REST API also enables supported reporting workflows to be managed and launched from business systems and customer portals. For organizations outgrowing basic subscriptions or individually built Power Automate flows, PBRS centralizes report personalization, packaging and distribution.
