Save Valuable Employee Time with ODBC Data Linking Tool in Multi-Carrier Shipping Software

Dec. 1, 2011 - PRLog -- Harvey Software, Inc. today shared one of the most popular ways its multi-carrier shipping software saves valuable employee time by connecting directly to other business systems.  Harvey Software’s Computerized Parcel System (CPS™) multiple carrier shipping software connects to order management, accounting and any other system that uses an ODBC compliant database.  CPS both reads customer and package data as well as writes back completed shipping information like tracking numbers and shipping costs.  The CPS ODBC connection is not only many times faster but also reduces the chance that errors will occur as can happen with manual package data entry.

“Our ODBC connection tool is one of the strongest features of our multi-carrier shipping software.  When it comes to reducing the time spent per package, our ODBC link has a major impact,” said Bob Sansone, Harvey Software’s Director of Sales.  “To ship a package, CPS reads shipping data, including the customer’s address , etc. through the ODBC connection.  CPS selects the lowest cost shipping method, prints the shipping label then writes back completed shipping information into the order management or accounting program, all using the directly linked ODBC connection,” explained Mr. Sansone.  “It’s easy to see how this connection saves time. Shipping employees can get to work on packages as orders are entered, and customer service representatives can see shipping info as soon as packages are shipped.  Data visibility improves, and employees don’t have to spend time looking up or entering information that can be transferred automatically.  This saved time translates to higher productivity and greater efficiency.  Higher efficiency reduces the overall cost of shipping.  This means a company can offer flat rate shipping costs or even free shipping offers, which are proven to reducing shopping cart abandonment.  The end result is CPS can be essential in creating a more efficient shipping operation that will result in more sales,” stated Mr. Sansone.
