In accordance with the present invention, a system for automated intelligent traying of mailpieces in accordance with predetermined postal discount requirements comprises an inserter for assembling the mailpieces and a trayer coupled to the inserter. The trayer includes a traying controller and a plurality of on-edge stacking bins. A supervisor is operatively coupled to the trayer controller for communicating mailpiece data and configuration data to and from the trayer controller. The trayer controller controls the sorting of mailpieces received from the inserter into tray groups according to postal discount requirements. In an alternate embodiment, the trayer is coupled to an on-edge mailpiece feeding structure such that the trayer is coupled to a system supervisor for performing automated intelligent traying separately from an inserter. In a further alternate embodiment, the trayer is off-line from an inserter or a supervisor and performs intelligent traying of mailpieces based solely on data scanned from the mailpiece and data downloaded to the trayer controller.
