FORT MYERS, FL— August 18, 2011 – Today Harvey Software shared
information explaining the advantages of using a multi-carrier shipping
system whenever a company wants its shipping system and accounting or
order management “backend” systems to talk to each other quickly, easily
and with minimal errors. Often, the shipping system is created by a
completely different company than the backend system, but still must
easily communicate its shipping data directly with accounting programs
for the smoothest operation of the shipping department and to make it
easy to find shipping cost and tracking information.
“Using multiple carriers for your shipping can bring great advantages to
a company. Implementing multiple carriers can be done two different
ways. You can use separate shipping systems so you have one that works
with this carrier and one that works with that carrier, etc. But it’s
quick to see that, from the very start, using multiple shipping systems
that all work differently from each other can complicate shipping and
really complicate the critical data communication between the “backend”
accounting/order system and the shipping system,” said Bob Sansone,
Harvey Software’s Director of Sales. “To use multiple carriers to the
best advantage for your company, the shipping system must reliably and
easily exchange data with the “backend” system. Compared to using
separate systems for multiple carriers, a single, multiple carrier
shipping system streamlines every process,” stated Mr. Sansone. “From
installation and setup, to updates, troubleshooting, and just using the
system each day, one system that does it all and communicates data with
the accounting/order system provides tremendous efficiency to the entire
shipping process from the very start,” explained Mr. Sansone. “Our CPS
shipping software easily handles shipping with the three major US
package carriers, and shippers have just one system to integrate with
their backend system. Compared to using separate single carrier
programs, a single, multi-carrier shipping system, un-complicates
shipping at every step,” said Mr. Sansone.
“Here is what companies face if using separate shipping systems for each
carrier. To set up the interfaces between multiple shipping systems and
a backend accounting system, each system must be linked separately to
set up the communication between the two. Anytime updates are required,
each system’s operation must be evaluated again. Plus, if there are ever
any errors when returning data to the accounting system, tracking down
the issue means first discovering which system had the error, even
before any corrections can be made,” stated Mr. Sansone. “All of these
translate to higher implementation costs, higher on-going expenses, plus
the loss of IT resources for other parts of the business,” explained Mr.
Sansone. “The elegant, smart solution comes down to using a single,
multiple carrier shipping system - not separate shipping systems for
each carrier. Our CPS shipping software easily handles shipping with the
three major US package carriers, putting all of these multiple carrier
shipping system advantages at your fingertips,” said Mr. Sansone in
closing.
