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

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.
