What OneSource does

OneSource (legal entity ONESOURCE, Inc., a Delaware corporation) is a privately held customer communication management (CCM) and statement processing company founded in 2003 and headquartered in Buffalo Grove, Illinois, with an additional operational site in Lisle, Illinois. The company operates a single integrated platform that consolidates five product lines: Customer Communication Management (omnichannel delivery across mail, mobile, tablet, SMS, EBPP, and secure email with responsive web design), Critical/Transactional Mail (high-speed full-color statement printing and mailing with intelligent inserting and next-business-day turnaround), Payment Processing (PCI-compliant tokenized payments supporting credit cards, ACH, mobile wallets, IVR, and voice-based options), Returned Mail Solutions (automated undeliverable mail processing using proprietary Address Management Software), and Business Continuity Services (print/mail disaster recovery and SLA overflow relief). The platform is anchored by a proprietary technology called UXP™ (Unbreakable Exchange Protocol) that maintains data encryption throughout processing, and the company's facilities hold SSAE 16 SOC 2, ISO 9001:2008, and PCI-DSS certifications.

The company serves 40+ clients ranging from local businesses to Fortune 500 enterprises, with a heavy concentration in regulated verticals including utilities, healthcare, financial services, telecommunications, and home security. Monthly production capacity exceeds 20 million statements across multiple facilities, and OneSource claims its Returned Mail Solution can cut returned mail costs by up to 70% and generate average net savings of $500,000+ annually per client. Revenue is generated primarily through per-statement/per-job transaction fees for print and mail services, transaction-based payment processing, and managed-service or subscription contracts for business continuity and returned mail.

OneSource sells exclusively through direct enterprise field sales led by the VP of Sales (Peter Walsh) and President (Tim Carlson), with a proof-of-concept validation process before contract signing. Distribution is supported by trade show participation (DRJ, MAILCOM, Xplor, Graph Expo, IASA, National Postal Forum) and sponsorship of the Mid-Penn Chapter of the Association of Contingency Planners. The most significant strategic action on record is the July 2018 acquisition of Valid's Disaster Recovery Business, which extended the Business Continuity Services division and added clients in telecom and home security. Leadership consists of CEO Miguel A. Martinez, President Tim Carlson, COO Tom Mason, and VP/GM of Business Continuity Ron Stott, with the company employing 251–500 people. Revenue, funding, and ownership details are not publicly disclosed.
