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.
