FORT MYERS, FL — October 19, 2011 — Harvey Software, Inc. today shared a competitive advantage created by the recently released integration between its Computerized Parcel System (CPS™) shipping software and Intuit’s QuickBooks® accounting software. This integration can make a company more competitive by greatly reducing the workload spent sharing data between the order management, accounting, and shipping departments. By integrating the most popular small business accounting software with the most versatile multi-carrier shipping system, companies can save significant amounts of time otherwise spent entering data, checking errors, and fulfilling orders in general.
“Here is an example of the time savings for a company that is using both QuickBooks and CPS,” said Terry Kennedy, Vice President of Alliance Marketing at Harvey Software. “Prior to the integration, the company ships approximately 50 packages per day, and they spend about five minutes creating an invoice for each order. After the invoice is created, their shipping employee currently spends three minutes per order re-entering that information into their carrier provided shipping software. We showed them they are spending two and a half hours each day in redundant data entry. Using QuickBooks with CPS integration, this information only needs to be entered once per order,” said Mr. Kennedy. “We made some projections for them. As their business grows to 200 packages per day, this integration will save them the equivalent of a full employee workday, every day. There’s also significantly less chance for errors with only one person responsible for entering data. What’s more, the time saved between shipping and accounting is all in addition to the time and money savings they enjoy when using CPS. The QuickBooks to CPS integration really allows both programs to go to a whole new level. What could you do with an extra employee every day?” asked Mr. Kennedy.
“There is another aspect of these time savings that many people don’t think about—they happen at the right part of the day. Many companies that ship large numbers of packages don’t even start shipping until after noon. So there’s a narrow window of opportunity before the carriers’ trucks arrive,” explained Mr. Kennedy. “This integration saves your company time when it is most valuable. We are acutely aware of our customer’s daily shipping deadlines. The carriers run on a tight timetable and so does anyone who ships with them. We all understand that packages shipped the same day they are ordered satisfy the customers’ expectation of quick service. Successfully doing this every day for every customer translates to repeat customers and ultimately, growth for your business. We’re excited about what this new integration offers to our clients and look forward to implementing this integration with any business that it can help,” Mr. Kennedy concluded.
