Multi-Carrier Shipping Software Will Help Improve Business Processes

FORT MYERS, FL — April 3, 2012 — Today, Harvey Software shared information on how a multi-carrier shipping system can improve business processes within companies that ship through small parcel carriers. Harvey Software’s Computerized Parcel System (CPS™) shipping software contains several tools that will streamline the shipping process into a smooth workflow. Integration of the shipping software with accounting, OMS, and ERP solutions cuts down on manual data entry. RateBots™ define business rules for shipping and ensure that management decisions are carried out package by package. Reporting features allow managers to reconcile the shipping invoice against what is expected. All of these speed up work in the shipping department and mean that employees can focus on other tasks.

“Shipping is complicated for the carriers, but it does not have to be for the local business owner or warehouse manager. The best multi-carrier shipping software contains tools that will automate many manual functions within the shipping department,” said Cary Cobb, Director of Sales and Marketing at Harvey Software. “Our customers who use order management systems connect to that data through their company’s network – they don’t need to enter shipping data manually. Many are able to scan a pick ticket, instantly call up the customer’s shipping data, and print the label for the best-choice carrier for that package within seconds,” continued Mr. Cobb. “Because our RateBots define carrier selection rules, a shipper can define ‘two day express’ as a shipping method. Any time a customer wants to ship express, they would define that RateBot as the shipping method, and our software chooses the best rate without further user input. Create different RateBots that include different carriers, ground and overnight services; your shipping employees will not have to navigate among the myriad of shipping methods available,” said Mr. Cobb. “From a simple shipping workflow standpoint, CPS handles the computer work on its own, leaving employees more time to pick orders and pack boxes,” explained Mr. Cobb.

“Once daily processing is operating efficiently, a manager can check reports at the end of the day, end of the month, or define a different time period to review. Some reports look at individual package records while others handle broader shipping ranges. Use these to help calculate flat rate shipping costs and to make sure the carriers are billing appropriately,” continued Mr. Cobb. “There are other ways to improve the process within the shipping department. We’d be happy to speak to anyone who has more specific questions for their business’s challenges,” concluded Mr. Cobb.

Tracking Email Increases Transparency for Businesses with a Multi-Carrier Shipping System

FORT MYERS, FL — March 13, 2012 — Today, Harvey Software released advantages and features of its SHIP eLERT® tracking email system. The SHIP eLERT system provides users of Harvey Software’s Computerized Parcel System (CPS™) shipping software a way to send a unified tracking email for FedEx, SpeeDee, UPS, and USPS packages. Because this tracking email is from the CPS customer’s email address instead of a carrier’s, a CPS customer has the opportunity to increase its brand exposure in their own customers’ email Inbox. In this way, CPS shipping software also assists in improving brand identification and customer communication.

“Consumers obviously need to know where their packages are after they purchase. Harvey Software’s SHIP eLERT notification system provides a link to view tracking status of packages shipped through CPS, regardless of which carrier shipped that package. The link goes to our proprietary tracking page which then reads the tracking number and takes the user to a package status web page. SHIP eLERTs are also accessible from most any mobile device with email capability,” said Cary Cobb, Harvey Software’s Director of Sales and Marketing. “In addition to the need for sharing tracking status, there’s a branding opportunity any time you communicate with customers. Our customers email tracking info from their own company email addresses, reminding shoppers where they purchased an item when they are checking on an order’s shipping status. We give our customers control over the subject line as well. If there’s a message they want to get out to their most recent customers, they have some flexibility in doing so as compared to carrier email notifications,” continued Mr. Cobb. “As more and more competition enters the online marketplace, it becomes even more important to promote your company’s brand. Sending email from your own addresses is one piece of an overall customer communication strategy. A tracking email is also a way to reference purchases – consumers may be looking through their email to remember where they bought a particular item, and a tracking email is an obvious marker that is easier to find than purchase confirmations. When that tracking email comes from a company’s own email address, the company increases its brand visibility, ideally leading to more purchases,” concluded Mr. Cobb.

Time-Saving Features Available Inside Multi-Carrier Shipping Software from Harvey Software

FORT MYERS, FL — February 28, 2012 — Today, Harvey Software released ways for businesses to save time in the shipping department. Harvey Software’s Computerized Parcel System (CPS™) shipping software has features that streamline the shipping process so that employees can work on other tasks. The features available within CPS increase efficiency while also reducing shipping costs. Harvey Software encourages shippers to prepare their shipping systems now to immediately realize the benefits and prepare for increased order volume.

“Shipping software can be the smooth last step in a fulfillment cycle, or it can be software that puts up a daily fight when trying to get orders out the door,” said Cary Cobb, Director of Digital Marketing at Harvey Software. “Ideally, shipping software reliably connects to the fulfillment or customer management system. With just a few keystrokes to complete each shipment, businesses are able to eliminate such errors as incorrectly choosing a carrier, shipping to a non-existent address, or choosing an unnecessarily more expensive service that costs a business money,” explained Mr. Cobb. “A new user can learn the basics of shipping with CPS in minutes. Once the weight comes in from the scale and the preferred shipping method is chosen, CPS prints carrier approved labels and is ready for the next shipment. It can be adapted to a variety of serial-based printers and scales, and the connection to an order management system includes the ability to write-back completed shipping information,” continued Mr. Cobb.

“Because CPS can be adapted to such a variety of applications, getting a shipping label is no longer a bottleneck in the fulfillment process. CPS is simple enough to be operated by a single person shipping parcels out of a home-based business. It is also versatile enough to be customized for the needs of a medium sized shipper, and with automation features found only in much more expensive solutions, CPS can operate on large-scale enterprise applications with or without a user present at the computer. With that kind of versatility, CPS shipping software serves a variety of companies’ shipping needs,” said Mr. Cobb. “We focus a lot on how CPS saves money, but the time it saves is just as important, if not more so. Harvey Software encourages businesses to check their shipping software and make sure it is optimized for maximum efficiency,” concluded Mr. Cobb.

Multi-Carrier Shipping System Integrates Third Party Parcel Insurance Options for Shipping Savings

FORT MYERS, FL — February 22, 2012 — Today, Harvey Software provided detailed information about alternate parcel insurance options integrated into its multi-carrier Computerized Parcel System (CPS™). By integrating these third party insurance options into CPS, shippers can insure packages using one of the alternate insurance companies, providing shippers with package insurance protection when needed, but at a significant savings compared to similar protection when purchased directly from the parcel carriers.

“We’ve seen increased interest in third party parcel insurance recently because shippers continue to look for ways to cut costs without sacrificing service. Most third party insurers charge significantly less for package insurance than the carriers do. By aggregating those savings on a large scale, shippers will realize cost savings without any reduction in service quality,” said Cary Cobb, Harvey Software’s Director of Digital Marketing. “In many multi-carrier shipping systems, a user may need to use a separate web site or program to use these third party insurance services. At Harvey Software, we recognize the need to save time on this process, so we integrated multiple options of third party parcel insurance, including PIP, Shipsurance, and U-PIC, into our main interface. Processing alternate parcel insurance is part of the normal End-of-Day processing in CPS, so shippers have all of the data and reporting needed for each alternate insurance company. Integrated third party insurance processing is another way that CPS makes it easier to ship efficiently and achieves the goal of saving money and time,” concluded Mr. Cobb.

FORT MYERS, FL — February 16, 2012 — Today, Harvey Software, Inc. and Advanced Business Systems, Inc. announced the renewal of their partnership. Advanced Business Systems makes seamless integration of business systems a reality for many companies across the Midwest as well as providing mailing and shipping hardware for their customers.

We help our customers to integrate this shipping software into their existing systems and help them with any questions they may have about Harvey Software’s product. The recently added ability of CPS to integrate with QuickBooks means our customers will have yet another way to connect all of their data – we’re excited that we can support that integration service as well.

Harvey Software Releases Update for its Multi-Carrier Shipping Software CPS

FORT MYERS, FL — January 24, 2012 — Today, Harvey Software announced the latest update to its Computerized Parcel System (CPS™) shipping software. In this update are the latest rates from the parcel carriers FedEx and the United States Postal Service (USPS). In addition, new rates for the DYMO Endicia Internet postage are also included. These rates took effect on Sunday, January 22nd, as did changes in federal law for how customs documents are prepared for manifested international shipments. CPS customers can see the complete update notes in the Notices and Updates section of their On-Line Support. A new Express Mail Flat Rate Box, offered by both Endicia and the USPS directly, is now available for both domestic and international shipping as well as a Priority Mail Regional Rate “C” box, which enables flat rate shipping up to 25 lbs.

“We encourage our customers to update their CPS shipping software as soon as possible. This ensures that they see accurate rating for FedEx and USPS going forward – UPS rates already took effect on January 2nd, 2012. Also, we encourage our customers to enable the automatic updating of CPS in program setup – updates are only a few times a year and are concentrated during this December/January timeframe. Not only that, but the rate shopping features that form the backbone of CPS are only effective when viewing updated shipping rates,” said Bob Sansone, Director of Sales at Harvey Software. “This update is not large and is quick to install – customers can expect to be shipping again within a couple of minutes. We already released the CPS specific features in the December update, and this update is really just an update of rates for FedEx and USPS. The new services that are available from USPS and Endicia will show up in the rate shopping features just like any other service, and as always, features within the software can be set to choose the best-priced service automatically,” continued Mr. Sansone. “Barring additional changes from the carriers, this update should be the last of the season, and customers can expect these rates to stay the same for the remainder of 2012. Of course, the fuel surcharges from FedEx and UPS are still subject to change monthly as usual, but this change does not require a significant update of our shipping software,” concluded Mr. Sansone.

Multi-Carrier Shipping Software Saves Time in the Shipping Department

FORT MYERS, FL — January 11, 2012 — Today, Harvey Software released information describing how its Computerized Parcel System (CPS™) shipping software will save time in a company’s shipping operations. The CPS multi-carrier shipping system has been refined and developed over more than 25 years to be the streamlined, efficient shipping software that companies demand for their shipping departments. Whether a company is shipping 10 or 10,000 packages a day, CPS shipping software will save time in the shipping department and increase productivity of shipping employees.

“Even just using the manual entry features of CPS, a user can quickly enter the necessary shipping information. Look us up on YouTube and see how fast a user can work with the manual entry function. A basic shipping label can be prepared using only the destination address, weight, and desired carrier service,” said Bob Sansone, Director of Sales at Harvey Software, Inc. “The selection of the best shipping service is the heart of CPS, and users see the rates for multiple carriers simultaneously. Because CPS is certified by the carriers and shows accurate rating, including accessorial charges and fuel surcharges for every package, the customer knows they get accurate rates and can be confident their bills will reflect this,” continued Mr. Sansone. “Our users save even more time when they use optional services available within CPS like the SHIP eLERT tracking email, sent from the user’s email address, notifying customers their packages are on the way and cutting down the calls to customer service asking if a package is on the way. Third party parcel insurance from several vendors is also available within the CPS user interface, eliminating the need to leave CPS to obtain these money saving services. Available address verification ensures the shipment is going to a verified US address,” explained Mr. Sansone.

“Because CPS is an ODBC compliant application it can be linked to order management applications. Not only can shipping information be imported into the shipping software, completed shipping data like the carrier used, shipping cost and tracking number can be written back to the order system. Time is saved on customer service as well as in the shipping department,” said Mr. Sansone. “With CPS selecting the best shipping service automatically for any number of packages, completed shipping data being returned to the host order system, shipping notifications sent for every package, address checking at the shipping station instead of searching elsewhere - no matter what the customer needs, CPS shipping software can save time in almost any shipping warehouse,” concluded Mr. Sansone.

How Using a Multi-Carrier Shipping System Helps Businesses Go Green

FORT MYERS, FL — December 28, 2011 — Today, Harvey Software, Inc. released methods to save energy in the shipping department with third party multiple carrier shipping systems. The Computerized Parcel System (CPS™) shipping efficiency features bring bonuses of saving energy and money while shipping packages. CPS can be a part of a company’s “Go Green” New Year’s resolution.

“Ground shipping services are better for the environment. Airplanes use a lot more fuel per pound-shipped than trucks. Of course, if your package needs to be there overnight, you don’t have much of a choice. But with the carriers guaranteeing delivery within one or two days in a large radius around most origins, ground service can take the place of one and two day services in many cases,” said Bob Sansone, Harvey Software’s Director of Sales. “Someone could look up transit times for packages and make this work with any current system, but if you need to know quickly, multi-carrier shipping software can look it up for you. Using the exclusive CPS Smart RateBots, a shipper user will know in seconds whether or not ground services can take the place of express services,” continued Mr. Sansone. “A business can make these choices ahead of time, then apply a rule to all shipped packages to use ground services if they give equivalent delivery times to one and two day services needed. We have customers who have three or four warehouses spread around the country. Assuming they have supply in stock for all items ordered, they can guarantee two-day delivery to at least 90% of the continental U.S using ground services.”

“Automatically choosing air or express services for two-day delivery is a potential waste of energy. With a little bit of pre-planning, a business can set itself up to make smart choices for every express or air delivery,” said Mr. Sansone. “We hope that as businesses make their New Year’s resolutions they will consider reducing their carbon footprint and their shipping costs with Smart RateBots.”

Harvey Software Releases Latest Update: National Carrier Updates and Product Improvements

FORT MYERS, FL — December 27, 2011 — Harvey Software, Inc. today released the annual National Carrier Updates to its Computerized Parcel System (CPS™) shipping software. Included in these updates are the latest 2012 rate tables for FedEx, SpeeDee, and UPS as well as several other product improvements and new features. All CPS users will need the updates in order for their license of the software to work correctly. The update is available beginning 11am today, December 27, 2011 and will remain optional for one (1) week. On or after Tuesday, January 2nd, 2012, this update becomes critical and essential for CPS to function properly.

“We’ve been doing the updates for years now, and we’ve found it works out well for our customers to let them complete the update at their own pace. We provide a window so that if there’s priority shipping that needs to take place, the update can be delayed for a few hours or days. The time needed to apply the update is minimal, and businesses will typically be able to ship as usual in just a few minutes,” said Dan Turbeville, COO at Harvey Software. “We would like to emphasize the importance of completing this update this week, since next week the timing will not be so flexible. 2011 rates expire this weekend, and since there are some pretty significant changes to the rates, our CPS users will want to make sure they are in compliance with carrier requirements by completing the update. We know that many of our customers appreciate the rate shopping features within CPS, like the BestWay Calculator, RateBots, and Smart RateBots. The National Carrier Updates ensure the accuracy of those rates and that all rate shopping features continue to save our clients’ money,” concluded Mr. Turbeville.

Multi-Carrier Shipping Software Helps Shipper Make Smart Free Shipping Offers

FORT MYERS, FL — December 21, 2011 — Harvey Software, Inc. today described how its Computerized Parcel System (CPS™) can help Internet retailers determine when to offer free shipping for orders. Free shipping is solidified in its place in the online market. With more than 60% of online orders this year placed with free shipping, this trend shows no signs of reversal. Major online players like Amazon have leveraged free shipping for years, and other sites have adapted to this standard. Going forward, it is easy to see an online market where free shipping is more or less required for retailers to stay competitive.

“Free shipping has become the norm in Internet shopping. Customers expect to see it and retailers need to be prepared to offer it,” said Bob Sansone, Director of Sales at Harvey Software. “There are multiple reasons why free shipping increases sales, not least of which is avoiding the ‘sticker shock’ of seeing shipping charges added in at the end of a sale. Customers want to know the full price of items as they shop. Passing along shipping charges near the end of the transaction often means there is no transaction. Even better, free shipping introduces the word ‘free’ into marketing efforts,” continued Mr. Sansone. “Free shipping also places your business in the national market. Your products cost the same for customers in any part of the United States. Without it, you become a regional option with potential customers limited to only those located around you. If you owned a brick and mortar store, you wouldn’t be checking addresses and charging more for those who live further away. So why would you do this in an online store?” asked Mr. Sansone.

Retailers who are interested in making free shipping offers might be intimidated by the perceived difficulties of making such offers. That retailer will want to know shipping costs, averaged by weight and by item, and they will want separate line items for ground, two-day, and overnight services. A large portion of the work can be done automatically with a multi-carrier shipping system, by running reports on the shipping history. By knowing average shipping costs, retailers will know the costs that need to be covered in order to make “free” shipping offers.

“Offering free shipping is a challenge for today’s online sellers. When you study the prices of popular websites that offer free shipping, you will find they work the shipping charges into the cost of the items. Shipping is not ‘free’ to the retailer, they have just figured out a way to average those charges into the cost of the product,” said Mr. Sansone. “This is where multi-carrier shipping software like our CPS can really help. There are reporting features available to provide shipping cost averages for each carrier and service for any time period. Using those shipping cost averages a company can then determine when and how it can make free shipping offers. When customers are not ambushed by surprise shipping charges in their shopping cart, research shows they are far more likely to complete the transaction,” concluded Mr. Sansone.

Multi-Carrier Shipping System Developer Harvey Software Announces National Carrier Update Schedule

FORT MYERS, FL — December 20, 2012 — Harvey Software, Inc. announced today it will release the National Carrier Update of its Computerized Parcel System (CPS™) shipping software, which will take effect on January 2, 2012. This newest version of CPS includes shipping features developed throughout 2011, plus updates to the carriers’ rate tables and improvements to existing features. The National Carrier Update will be available for download beginning December 27th at 11:00am EST and is distributed to all existing CPS users at no charge. This update is required for all current CPS users with any version of the CPS. Since CPS is multiple carrier shipping software, the update helps ensure that all CPS users are in compliance with the carriers’ requirements and that the rates reported in CPS are accurate and current.

“CPS requires updates annually because of changes to the carrier rate tables, shipping labels, data upload requirements and new service additions. We also take the opportunity to include new features as well as improvements to existing features while we update carrier related components,” said Terry Kennedy, VP of Alliance Marketing at Harvey Software. “We do want to emphasize the importance of this update to all of our customers. Since a central CPS feature is to shop rates among the carriers, it is essential those rates be current and accurate. We allow a week-long window to accommodate companies’ holiday schedules, and we design the update to be easy to download and install,” concluded Mr. Kennedy.

“Many other shipping software makers charge to update their software. We don’t. The advertised price of CPS includes these updates as part of scheduled maintenance, just as we include Internet and phone support at no extra charge,” said Bob Sansone, Director of Sales at Harvey Software. “We don’t nickel and dime our customers for essential features of the software they purchased. We continue to offer unparalleled services to our customers, including providing the updates on time every year. If anyone has questions regarding this update, we invite them to read more about it in their online CPS support notifications,” concluded Mr. Sansone.

Hands-Free Shipping Increases Profits for Companies Shipping with a Multi-Carrier Shipping System

FORT MYERS, FL — December 15, 2011 — Harvey Software, Inc., released information today describing The Automator®, the hands-free shipment processing feature included in its Computerized Parcel System (CPS™) shipping software. Whether shipping one package at a time or a group of packages, the Automator allows a business to ship without any operator required at the shipping computer. Even though it is a hands-off operation, the CPS Automator continues to select the best shipping method for each package by rate shopping between all of the major U.S. carriers according to what the user wants. A company can rest assured knowing that they are getting the best rates possible for each individual package.

“We first developed with the Automator as a security feature, believe it or not. A client wanted to be able to keep the shipping information from being edited by employees to insure 100% accuracy and security. Originally, this was applied with the computer itself locked in a closet with the employees having access only to the completed shipping labels and packages,” said Bob Sansone, Director of Sales at Harvey Software, Inc. “A great side effect of the method we came up with for that particular customer’s security needs was the ability to ship an entire batch of packages with no person necessary at the shipping computer. We saw the potential for this feature for our other customers, and The Automator became a standard feature of CPS shipping software contained in every CPS license we sell,” continued Mr. Sansone.

“It’s easy to see how this could save lots of time in the shipping department. CPS is quick even when shipping information has to be entered manually, but between ODBC integration and automatic rate shopping made possible with the unique to CPS RateBots® and Smart RateBots® features, it’s possible that a person is necessary at the computer only to press enter several times. We took away those slowdown factors and let the software go at full speed,” explained Mr. Sansone. “Basically, the speed at which a printer is capable of printing becomes the only limitation to how fast the packages can be processed and ready to be picked up by the carriers. We know that many companies are interested in this type of shipping automation. Ultimately, a company can increase their profits with a feature like this by increasing productivity and guaranteeing accuracy,” concluded Mr. Sansone.

Bicycle Safety Jerseys for River Ride Event Donated by Shipping Software Maker Harvey Software

FORT MYERS, FL — December 1, 2011 — Today, Harvey Software, Inc., a Fort Myers, FL based developer and distributor of multi-carrier shipping software, shared its recent effort promoting bicycle safety around its Southwest Florida home area. Harvey Software donated 3FeetPlease cycling jerseys to the Caloosahatchee River Citizens Association (Riverwatch), which were prizes in a raffle during the Fifteenth Annual River Ride held on November 13th. Winners include Bryan Avery, Peter Olsen, and Dutch Vanderkuypt, all from Cape Coral, FL, and Maureen Granger-Bohl of Fort Myers, FL. The River Ride is a casual ride showcasing the natural beauty of the wildlife and marine habitat of the Caloosahatchee River. Participants completed 15, 30, 40, or 62 mile circuits near the Caloosahatchee River.

“Southwest Florida has a year-round cycling season making bicycle safety important for both cyclists and motorists to understand. Many are not aware that Florida law requires a three foot distance between all automobiles and bicycles on the road, regardless of available cycling facilities like bike lanes or paths. The 3FeetPlease attire helps educate the public about this law with a very visual reminder to motorists who encounter cyclists,” said Bert Hamilton, Harvey Software’s President and CEO. “We respect Riverwatch’s mission to promote the unique natural beauty of our hometown and we thought this donation would help extend the education effort of 3FeetPlease. By working together, we can provide a safe and beautiful biking community not only in Fort Myers but in the entire Southwest Florida region,” stated Mr. Hamilton.

ODBC Data Linking Tool in Multi-Carrier Shipping Software Saves Valuable Employee Time

FORT MYERS, FL — November 30, 2011 — Harvey Software, Inc. today shared one of the most popular ways its multi-carrier shipping software saves valuable employee time by connecting directly to other business systems. Harvey Software’s Computerized Parcel System (CPS™) multiple carrier shipping software connects to order management, accounting and any other system that uses an ODBC compliant database. CPS both reads customer and package data as well as writes back completed shipping information like tracking numbers and shipping costs. The CPS ODBC connection is not only many times faster but also reduces the chance that errors will occur as can happen with manual package data entry.

“Our ODBC connection tool is one of the strongest features of our multi-carrier shipping software. When it comes to reducing the time spent per package, our ODBC link has a major impact,” said Bob Sansone, Harvey Software’s Director of Sales. “To ship a package, CPS reads shipping data, including the customer’s address , etc. through the ODBC connection. CPS selects the lowest cost shipping method, prints the shipping label then writes back completed shipping information into the order management or accounting program, all using the directly linked ODBC connection,” explained Mr. Sansone. “It’s easy to see how this connection saves time. Shipping employees can get to work on packages as orders are entered, and customer service representatives can see shipping info as soon as packages are shipped. Data visibility improves, and employees don’t have to spend time looking up or entering information that can be transferred automatically. This saved time translates to higher productivity and greater efficiency. Higher efficiency reduces the overall cost of shipping. This means a company can offer flat rate shipping costs or even free shipping offers, which are proven to reducing shopping cart abandonment. The end result is CPS can be essential in creating a more efficient shipping operation that will result in more sales,” stated Mr. Sansone.

Harvey Software Delivers Sustained Support for Bicycle Safety with Community 3FeetPlease Campaign

FORT MYERS, FL — November 29, 2011 — Today, Harvey Software, Inc. shared an update of its ongoing community effort to promote motorists’ awareness of bicycles. The developer and distributor of popular multi-carrier shipping software, headquartered in Fort Myers, FL, continues its mission to improve bicycle safety in a state with a year-round biking season. Recently, Harvey Software’s CEO was acknowledged in a meeting of the Board of Lee County (FL) Commissioners for the company’s efforts to purchase and distribute over 500 “3 Feet Please” stickers to be placed on official Lee County government vehicles and LeeTran public buses. The bright yellow stickers visually promote a safe distance between motorists and cyclists. Harvey Software hopes the awareness will reduce future accidents involving bicycles and motor vehicles.

“Southwest Florida is a wonderful place to bike, with ample facilities, great weather, and beautiful scenery. The goal is to improve safety for area cyclists and make the area even more attractive to bikers. We wanted a visual signal to motorists alerting them to increased caution necessary around a bicycle,” said Bert Hamilton, CEO of Harvey Software, headquartered in Fort Myers, FL. “The moment I saw these T-shirts and jerseys I knew that they would send a very hard to miss signal to drivers! The message is clear—a minimum three foot distance between car and bicycle, at all times. With this simple rule of thumb, bicycles and automobiles can share the road safely for the benefit of all,” continued Mr. Hamilton. “By distributing this message to as many as possible, we hope we can reduce the number of accidents in this area and raise awareness between cyclists and drivers. Our county government is taking an active role in supporting this program, far past simply recognizing the effort. Soon, county vehicles and buses in Lee county will have a ‘3FeetPlease’ sticker, reminding motorists of the concept even when cyclists are not around,” explained Mr. Hamilton.

As of this release, over 400 bumper stickers have been distributed and the remainder should be in place by the end of this year. For further information regarding the 3FeetPlease effort and bicycling in Southwest Florida, please visit http://www.swfbicycling.blogspot.com/.

Multiple Carrier Shipping Software Lets Businesses Leverage Carrier Shipping Guarantees

FORT MYERS, FL — November 29, 2011 — Today, Harvey Software, Inc. described how shippers can take advantage of carrier shipping guarantees to meet shipping delivery time commitments at the lowest cost. The Smart RateBot® feature Harvey Software’s Computerized Parcel System (CPS™) shipping software reduces shipping expenses by helping companies meet guaranteed delivery times using a carrier’s ground service instead of the more expensive air and express services. For example, the major US package carriers promise delivery within two days to many states using standard ground service. A centrally located shipper enjoys guaranteed delivery within two days to half of the continental US. The CPS Smart RateBot enables shippers who use the more economical ground services to meet guaranteed two day delivery service commitments. By offering the same shipping transit times at a lower cost, shippers who take advantage of this feature can immediately increase their profits.

“Many shipping departments just automatically choose two-day air service when the customer needs their package in two days. Depending on where the package is shipped from, the area where ground service delivers within a guaranteed two days covers quite a large part of the U.S.,” said Bob Sansone, Harvey Software’s Director of Sales. “Let’s look at a company shipping out of downtown Chicago. A quick look at their one carrier’s transit map shows that Dallas, Atlanta, Philadelphia, New York, and all of Long Island are within the two day ground delivery area from Chicago. In fact, 19 complete states and parts of several others have guaranteed ground delivery commitments within two days. There is no reason to be shipping two day air to these places when ground service will do the job,” explained Mr. Sansone. “In our CPS shipping software, the shipper simply creates a Smart RateBot for a two day delivery time, and that Smart RateBot chooses the least expensive ground delivery service for any address within that two-day zone. There’s no need for a shipping employee to look at zone maps,” continued Mr. Sansone. “There are instances where shipping ground can cost half that of air or express services, maybe even less. Why not take advantage of services the carriers guarantee? Of course, you always have the option of using their air or express services if necessary. Changing carrier services with CPS is just a click away,” said Mr. Sansone.

“We work with companies with multiple warehouses across the country. When their products are located in strategic locations, they are able to cover most of the country by ground service with just a few strategic warehouse locations. By making that investment and using a multi-carrier shipping system, those companies are optimally positioned for our Internet economy,” explained Mr. Sansone. “And even with one location, shipping via ground to destinations within guaranteed delivery zones is just smart business. Smart RateBots can make this profitability a reality for a shipper of any size,” concluded Mr. Sansone.

Holiday Shipping Made Easier with a Multi-Carrier Shipping System

FORT MYERS, FL — November 17, 2011 — Today, Harvey Software, Inc. released reasons that multi-carrier shipping systems can help online merchants with holiday shipping. The Computerized Parcel System (CPS™) reduces workload in the shipping department by offering instant data import/export along with complete rate shopping features. Using the time and money saving features of CPS, an online merchant can get packages out the door faster and reduce shipping costs at the same time.

“Holiday Internet shopping grows every year, and we are already expecting this year to be the biggest yet. With the larger number of orders comes the need for efficient shipping software to handle the increased package volume. By taking advantage of a multi-carrier shipping system, a merchant can move through that volume of packages in a short amount of time,” said Terry Kennedy, VP of Alliance Marketing at Harvey Software. “Customer shipping data comes into our CPS shipping software with an ODBC connection with completed shipping information like tracking numbers and shipping cost exported back to the shipper’s business systems. This makes for quick shipping as well as easy record keeping and shipment reconciliation. Plus, with the option of sending the customer a tailored Ship eLERT® shipping notification and tracking email, companies increase the visibility of the package and their online brand,” continued Mr. Kennedy.

“In addition to the considerable time-saving and integration features of our CPS shipping software, our customers are interested in maximizing profits during the holiday season,” explained Mr. Kennedy. “CPS shipping software excels at getting the lowest cost shipping for every package. By taking advantage of features like the BestWay Calculator, CPS RateBots and Smart RateBots, our clients save money every time they ship a package,” continued Mr. Kennedy. “The carriers aggressively compete with one another for your shipping dollars, and a multi-carrier shipping system takes advantage of that competition by enabling a choice between them for each package. Sometimes the difference is only pennies, but often, the difference can be a dollar or even more per package. Add to that the ability to automatically take advantage of guaranteed ground delivery times that can replace two-day or even next day shipping, and your business can reduce its shipping expenses significantly with few changes to the overall process,” concluded Mr. Kennedy.

Multi-Carrier Shipping System Connects to Current Systems for Money and Time Saving Features

FORT MYERS, FL — November 16, 2011 — Harvey Software, Inc., today reported additional benefits when integrating its flagship Computerized Parcel System (CPS™) with other software systems. Connecting the popular multi-carrier shipping system to order entry or accounting programs reduces redundant data entry, speeds up the shipping process, and saves money on shipping costs all at the same time. When the connection is complete, CPS reads necessary shipping data from other programs, reduces manual shipping data entry, lessens the workload of a shipping employee and writes back completed shipping info back into the other programs.

“An order management or accounting program may include some type of shipping function,” said Bob Sansone, Harvey Software’s Director of Sales. “But spend just a few days using those functions and a company shipping even moderate volume is going to want something faster. Plus, many of those systems include functions primarily oriented to use only a single carrier. CPS benefits its customers with rate shopping between UPS, FedEx, and the USPS, and with quick, easy-to-use connection tools to other software,” explained Mr. Sansone. “Here is an example. We recently documented connecting CPS to Intuit QuickBooks, which brings our customers a much simplified accounting of the shipping department’s transactions. After a user ships a package with CPS, the tracking number and shipping charges write back immediately into the QuickBooks customer invoice. We know this reduces the potential errors involved in getting data from one program to the other, also saving employee workload with every package shipped,” continued Mr. Sansone. “QuickBooks is one of a large group of CPS compatible systems, and we encourage companies to investigate whether their current system can also connect,” said Mr. Sansone.

“We know that managers seek out multi-carrier shipping systems to save money on their shipping costs,” stated Mr. Sansone. “When they discover how much time they save by connecting CPS to their other systems, it’s a great ‘fringe’ benefit. CPS will pay for itself with shipping cost savings with only a moderate volume of shipping each month. The time employees save is on top of that. We are confident that CPS will reduce the workload in the shipping department, which will reduce shipping labor costs as well as allow employees to focus on other tasks. CPS shipping software makes employees more productive and companies more profitable,” concluded Mr. Sansone.

Multi-Carrier Shipping System Shaves Time Spent on Every Package

FORT MYERS, FL — November 3, 2011 — Today, Harvey Software publicized the advantages of using specific features in its Computerized Parcel System (CPS™) multi-carrier shipping system that are designed to save time on shipping. “Best rate” and “best carrier” lookups are commonly done in the shipping process and accurately making those “best” choices can affect the overall cost of shipping significantly. But to make this effective, a company needs these “best” choices made both quickly as well as accurately. The CPS RateBot® feature automatically makes this “best” choice with the twist that it is fully controlled by the shipper to pick the best service from all available shipping choices. Once set up, a RateBot immediately chooses the best-priced service for every package without any user input needed. Setting up RateBots for each of the company’s shipping choices speeds up the shipping process and saves money at the same time.

“CPS RateBots are a terrific time saver in the shipping department,” said Bob Sansone, Harvey Software’s Director of Sales. “I can’t imagine how a shipping department would have the time to find the best choice for every package if they were using the carrier provided shipping systems. Just checking the shipping rates on two or more systems would be incredibly time consuming. When you graduate to a multi-carrier shipping system like our CPS shipping software, you enjoy immediate access to the shipping rates of each carrier. Next, set up the RateBots you need - maybe one for the best ground delivery or maybe a RateBot for the best next day delivery, for example. Now that important ‘best carrier’ choice happens at lightning speed,” explained Mr. Sansone.

“Here’s another time saving aspect of CPS. For companies shipping directly to consumers, the carriers’ residential delivery surcharges can make a big cost difference, so it’s critical to determine the residential or commercial address status for each package since that can really impact rate shopping. The CPS Address Verification Module determines this status for every package shipped as it verifies the address. To do this check manually, just locating this important information could take a significant amount of time. Even if it only took an extra minute per package to check the address status and then compare rates, that time would really add up when it’s multiplied by 50, 100 or maybe many more packages each day,” stated Mr. Sansone. “When you are looking for speed in your shipping department, CPS, coupled with the unique RateBot feature, can save hours every day. The time savings translate into money savings and CPS users benefit from both,” concluded Mr. Sansone.
