QuickBooks ProAdvisors Can Help Their Clients Connect to a Multi-Carrier Shipping System


FORT MYERS, FL — October 26, 2011 — Today, Harvey Software, Inc. announced information available to QuickBooks® ProAdvisors about a new connection that opens up advanced multi-carrier shipping capabilities for QuickBooks Pro users. This new integration allows Harvey Software’s Computerized Parcel System (CPS™), and Intuit’s QuickBooks Pro to work together seamlessly, giving QuickBooks Pro users the possibilities of substantial savings in their shipping costs. The ProAdvisors are invited to learn more about this integration, including the opportunity to attend free webinars that present information explaining it and how to maximize its effectiveness for mutual clients. If QuickBooks ProAdvisors think they would be able to assist customers in setting up their QuickBooks Company to integrate with CPS (with training provided for the CPS side) and would like to be included in the Harvey Software ProAdvisor Referral Directory, they can reach out with the links below.

“If a ProAdvisor’s practice serves clients who ship packages with the three major U.S. carriers, those clients can start saving money on their shipping immediately by taking advantage of the rate shopping features available in CPS. Connecting a client’s CPS shipping software to QuickBooks also saves them time processing each shipment and ensures accurate shipping data goes back into QuickBooks’ files,” said Bob Sansone, Harvey Software’s Director of Sales. “On the shipment side, customer data is read automatically from QuickBooks into the CPS shipping software, so there is no room for human error caused by manually entering customer data. Plus, the instant data transfer makes getting the shipment finalized and out the door even faster. Any shipping data needed for the accounting department, such as tracking numbers, shipping charges, and much more can be written back automatically to QuickBooks as soon as a shipment is processed. This means accurate final invoices are available in minutes,” explained Mr. Sansone. “In the fast-paced world of Internet orders, a business needs this information available as soon as they complete their order. This connection allows the shipper to shop the best rates available for a package, finalize that shipment, and have the completed info back to QuickBooks in seconds,” said Mr. Sansone.

“This ODBC connection between QuickBooks and CPS has only recently become available and we encourage QuickBooks ProAdvisors to become familiar with this feature to help better serve their clients,” said Mr. Sansone. “We invite any interested ProAdvisors to contact us about this integration. The goal is to develop long term relationships with interested ProAdvisors. Pro Advisors who support the QuickBooks side of this integration will be a valuable resource to QuickBooks users. As we see more clients’ systems containing both CPS and QuickBooks, we envision a community of QuickBooks ProAdvisors that we will refer customers to that need that extra personal touch to help get them up and running,” explained Mr. Sansone. “By working together to help our clients save money and time, Harvey Software and QuickBooks ProAdvisors will make our clients’ businesses run more efficiently and with fewer errors,” concluded Mr. Sansone.
