Direct mail automation software is a marketing technology solution designed to help businesses automate the creation, personalization, printing, and delivery of direct mail campaigns. It integrates with customer relationship management (CRM) systems, marketing automation platforms, and customer databases to streamline the process of sending physical mail, such as postcards, letters, brochures, and catalogs, to targeted recipients.

These solutions are used by small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as well as large enterprises in industries such as retail, healthcare, finance, e-commerce, real estate, technology, and more.
