Abstract
In an embodiment, an apparatus comprises one or more processors and one or more memories communicatively coupled to the one or more processors and storing instructions which, when processed by the one or more processors, cause: receiving a digital image of undeliverable mail and storing the digital image in a first database; causing data to be extracted from the digital image using Optical Character Recognition (OCR) or by processing encoded data; causing additional data to be requested from a second database based on the data extracted from the digital image; automatically generating one or more options for the undeliverable mail based on the data from the first database and the additional data from the second database; and causing the digital image, the data, the additional data, and the one or more options for the undeliverable mail to be displayed using a graphical user interface.
