Dydacomp and Harvey Software Strengthen Partnership with New Feature in M.O.M. Version 8

FORT MYERS, FL & TOTOWA, NJ — September 20, 2011 — Dydacomp and Harvey Software, Inc. today announced they have strengthened their strategic partnership by including a powerful shipping feature in the latest release of Multichannel Order manager (M.O.M.) at no additional charge. M.O.M. Version 8 integrates the Universal Shipping Interface (USI) to connect clients to Harvey Software’s Computerized Parcel System (CPS™) shipping software, speeding up the workflow in both fulfillment and shipping. Customers of both companies will benefit by having this interface available.

“Harvey Software has worked with Dydacomp for many years with the shared mission of saving our customers money and time. Many of our customers utilize M.O.M. for their order management and we are very pleased to know that the CPS shipping software interface can be accessed now for no additional fee,” said Dan Turbeville, Harvey Software’s Chief Operating Officer. “As Dydacomp is one of our longstanding business partners, we are excited that this partnership now brings additional benefits to users of both programs. We continue to support Dydacomp’s order management solution as we work to make our CPS shipping software save our customers’ time and money on their shipping costs,” concluded Mr. Turbeville.

Through the USI, CPS is supplied with all necessary shipping information. Once the CPS user selects their preferred shipping method, the shipping service information and tracking number write back to M.O.M. The shipping department receives quick and accurate shipping data from the order management application and the customer service department receives shipping information and tracking number back instantly. The connection between the M.O.M. and CPS helps ensure quick fulfillment and accurate record-keeping.

“Dydacomp strives to provide our clients with the most robust order management tools possible to thrive in today’s marketplace. One area that they can achieve significant cost savings is in shipping, and we recognized that many of our clients purchase Harvey Software’s CPS shipping software to accomplish this. We felt it was important to support the connection between the two solutions, which is why we made the USI feature standard in M.O.M. V8. We know this will make it easier for retailers to use both programs to complete their orders quickly and save money,” said Rob Coon, Senior Vice President at Dydacomp.

The new blog site can be found at http://SWFBicycling.blogspot.com. This new blog will allow Harvey Software to help educate people about the benefits of bicycling and how to cycle safely and enjoyable in Southwest Florida.

“I have always been a strong supporter of bicycling and a healthy lifestyle,” explained Bert Hamilton, President and CEO of Harvey Software, Inc. “There is no better place than Southwest Florida to enjoy bicycling. This area has nearly perfect weather all year round, many scenic and natural areas for a cyclist to enjoy, and a supportive cycling community that Harvey Software has helped support for several years,” continued Mr. Hamilton. “After many years being in the shipping and logistics industry, I know that many of the carriers we support with our shipping software solutions began their business by delivering packages on bicycles. The combination of this history of our industry, my love of bicycling, and this great location makes Southwest Florida a perfect place for us to lend our support for such a worthwhile cause,” Hamilton concluded.

The new blog will have updates focusing on educating the public on cycling safely and give tips for maximizing the cycling experience in Southwest Florida, such as ride locations, traffic patterns, and fun places to visit.

Multi-Carrier Shipping Software Helps Retailers Compete During the Holidays

FORT MYERS, FL — September 13, 2011 — Harvey Software, Inc. today released ideas to help online retailers be as competitive as possible during the upcoming holiday sales season. These ideas include encouraging businesses to consider making flat rate and free shipping offers, which help companies sell nationwide and avoid lost sales caused by shopping cart abandonment related to unexpected shipping costs added at the time of checkout. Harvey Software’s Computerized Parcel System (CPS™) shipping software contains tools that assist eCommerce merchants in formulating these shipping promotions. Harvey Software encourages online retailers to prepare their shipping system today for the fast-approaching holiday season.

“Free shipping is becoming the norm in the online industry. Almost every day we see another website advertising some sort of free shipping offer. We know, of course, that it’s not ‘free’ for a business to ship,” said Bob Sansone, Director of Sales at Harvey Software. “To offer free or flat rate shipping, those businesses must take their cost of shipping and factor it into their product prices. That’s why Harvey Software includes the Flat Rate Shipping Calculator with every CPS shipping software program. The Flat Rate Shipping Calculator automatically calculates average shipping charges from a company’s own shipping history. CPS users can select any time period for this calculation, and shipping cost averages are provided for International and Domestic Air and Ground services,” continued Mr. Sansone. “With this information, CPS users can factor these actual shipping costs into the cost of the products sold, which then allows them to advertise their complete pricing up front. Online consumers are much more likely to make a purchase when they are aware of shipping charges from the beginning of their online transaction,” said Mr. Sansone.

“Shippers that utilize the Flat Rate Shipping Calculator to effectively offer flat rate or free shipping can be more competitive in their sectors. By advertising flat rate and free shipping, they can sell throughout the country for the same price. They avoid becoming a regional player, which can happen when greater distance from the warehouse increases shipping costs,” said Mr. Sansone. “They also avoid surprise shipping charges at the end of an order, where ‘shipping sticker shock’ causes a customer to abandon that order,” continued Mr. Sansone. “We know that companies are preparing for the holiday season now, and we want to make sure that their shipping software is helping them stay competitive in this important sales season. We encourage all online businesses to look at their shipping system and use it to help them save money and give them information to help their business succeed,” concluded Mr. Sansone.

Multi-Carrier Shipping Software an Advantage When Package Carriers Make Changes

FORT MYERS, FL — September 7, 2011 — Today, Harvey Software, Inc. released information regarding their Computerized Parcel System (CPS™) shipping software which details how its users are always able to depend on their CPS being kept up to date with the latest carrier required changes. CPS updates correspond with updates by the carriers to their rates, services, labels, data transmissions and other requirements so Harvey Software’s customers can be sure they receive accurate rating for each package they send. CPS also provides delivery times for packages shipped with services that have a guaranteed delivery time as well, showing CPS users the shipping cost and arrival date as they ship each package.

“Recently there has been a lot of news regarding the United States Postal Service and the changes they are undertaking as part of their ‘optimization plan’,” said Dan Turbeville, Harvey Software’s Chief Operating Officer. “The USPS faces some challenging financial obligations. We’ve heard about suspension of Saturday deliveries for quite some time now, and they look like they are serious about it this time,” continued Mr. Turbeville. “To cut costs even more, they have proposed closing a few thousand post offices. These closures plus cancelling delivery on Saturday could really impact delivery times for postal services and hybrid postal services,” explained Mr. Turbeville.

“As a multi-carrier shipping system, CPS shows some of its strengths whenever the carriers make major changes. Our customers don’t need to know every single detail for each carrier,” said Mr. Turbeville. “Because CPS is certified by all three major carriers, we are notified of changes that impact our customers, and we update CPS to reflect those changes,” continued Mr. Turbeville. “The CPS BestWay calculator displays all carriers’ rates instantly so our customers know they are getting the best value. Delivery times, rate changes, and fuel surcharges are all updated when changed by the carriers. Because CPS is always kept up-to-date, CPS users can always make the best choice from any carrier,” concluded Mr. Turbeville.

Harvey Software Announces Parcel Insurance Plan (PIP) as its September Featured Partner

FORT MYERS, FL — September 6, 2011 — Today, Harvey Software, Inc. announced it has named Parcel Insurance Plan (PIP), as its Featured Partner of the Month for September, 2011. PIP provides discounted parcel insurance as an alternative to carrier provided parcel insurance. Users of Harvey Software’s Computerized Parcel System (CPS™) service use PIP’s insurance products directly within the CPS shipping software. Shippers have an easy, integrated choice of how their packages are insured, which complements the easy choice of carriers they can make by using CPS.

“At PIP, we offer lower parcel insurance rates than the carriers. We are glad that our services continue to be offered through Harvey Software’s CPS,” said PIP’s Director of Marketing, Lisa Lash. “We believe in Harvey Software’s mission to help its customers save money on shipping because it mirrors our mission of helping our customers save on insurance,” continued Ms. Lash. “We insure packages shipped with all three carriers that Harvey supports, and we invite you to consider PIP when making your shipping insurance decision. We offer exceptional value, ease of use and superior claims handling,” concluded Ms. Lash.

“Including insurance alternatives to the carriers as an integrated solution is important to us,” said Terry Kennedy, Harvey Software’s VP of Alliance Marketing. “CPS customers use our software to save time and money by having their choice of carrier. Using PIP’s third party insurance programs enables our customers to have even more choices. By adding savings from their insurance with PIP to the savings they already get by using CPS, our customers see real changes to their bottom line,” continued Mr. Kennedy. “Plus, having those insurance options within our interface means less time per package and more efficient shipping. We are happy to announce Parcel Insurance Plan as our Featured Partner for the month of September,” concluded Mr. Kennedy.
