FORT MYERS, FL — November 3, 2011 — Today, Harvey Software publicized the advantages of using specific features in its Computerized Parcel System (CPS™) multi-carrier shipping system that are designed to save time on shipping. “Best rate” and “best carrier” lookups are commonly done in the shipping process and accurately making those “best” choices can affect the overall cost of shipping significantly. But to make this effective, a company needs these “best” choices made both quickly as well as accurately. The CPS RateBot® feature automatically makes this “best” choice with the twist that it is fully controlled by the shipper to pick the best service from all available shipping choices. Once set up, a RateBot immediately chooses the best-priced service for every package without any user input needed. Setting up RateBots for each of the company’s shipping choices speeds up the shipping process and saves money at the same time.
“CPS RateBots are a terrific time saver in the shipping department,” said Bob Sansone, Harvey Software’s Director of Sales. “I can’t imagine how a shipping department would have the time to find the best choice for every package if they were using the carrier provided shipping systems. Just checking the shipping rates on two or more systems would be incredibly time consuming. When you graduate to a multi-carrier shipping system like our CPS shipping software, you enjoy immediate access to the shipping rates of each carrier. Next, set up the RateBots you need - maybe one for the best ground delivery or maybe a RateBot for the best next day delivery, for example. Now that important ‘best carrier’ choice happens at lightning speed,” explained Mr. Sansone.
“Here’s another time saving aspect of CPS. For companies shipping directly to consumers, the carriers’ residential delivery surcharges can make a big cost difference, so it’s critical to determine the residential or commercial address status for each package since that can really impact rate shopping. The CPS Address Verification Module determines this status for every package shipped as it verifies the address. To do this check manually, just locating this important information could take a significant amount of time. Even if it only took an extra minute per package to check the address status and then compare rates, that time would really add up when it’s multiplied by 50, 100 or maybe many more packages each day,” stated Mr. Sansone. “When you are looking for speed in your shipping department, CPS, coupled with the unique RateBot feature, can save hours every day. The time savings translate into money savings and CPS users benefit from both,” concluded Mr. Sansone.
