Washington based company Document Command Inc. has launched its consumer facing web interface for postal mail called Remote Control Mail. It is an answer to PO Boxes, mail forwarding or waiting that you deal with when you get home. This company receives your postal mail, scans the outside of what’s sent to you and provides a web interface to quickly sort through the mails. Though this may cater to a niche market but they plan to capture more attention. Working on a full-scale robotics system that will provide even more functionality to institutions Document Command is heading in the right direction.

Users of the service are able to quickly view the front of anything sent to them and choose between having the items shredded, recycled, archived, opened and scanned or forwarded to wherever they are in the physical world. Future features may include the ability to deposit checks to your bank account and automatically apply signatures to documents with just a few clicks. Remote Control Mail is now available for personal users for an activation fee of $25 and monthly rates starting at $19.95 per month for up to 5 named mail recipients.
