How to Future-Proof Your Business Against Postal Delays

Canada Post Strike: How to Keep Your Business Running with Digital Solutions

The Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) says the Canada Post strike has cost $1.5 billion for small operations. Outgoing sales and incoming revenues are both affected. The Canada Post strike is creating significant disruptions for businesses, especially those relying on cheques and mailed documents. Beyond strikes, issues like system outages, technical glitches, or even severe weather can also disrupt essential operations like payments and document delivery. The result? Delayed cash flow and frustrated clients.
