Follow on Google News | Multiple Carrier Shipping Systems Streamline Business Processes Including ShippingHarvey Software publicized details describing business processes that can be improved by using a multiple carrier shipping system.
“Compared to using a single multiple carrier shipping system like our CPS, let’s look at the additional work involved when a company uses just two of the ‘free’ carrier systems. Starting with the initial installation, using multiple shipping systems means more work at the start since you are setting up multiple systems. You have to provide the physical space for each separate system and provide double the computer and shipping hardware. Plus there is training needed for both systems,” stated Bob Sansone, Harvey Software’s Director of Sales. “That’ “So far, that’s what’s needed to make multiple systems ready to ship packages. Using them brings its own issues. It’s very hard to efficiently make the right shipping choices when you have to bounce from one carrier system to another at the point of shipping. If you are looking for the best carrier, best rate, best anything, you have to check out each package in each system,” Mr. Sansone explained. “Even harder, if you ship a package by one carrier and need to change the carrier, first you delete the package from one system, then add it to the other system. Unless your order system accurately predetermines the carrier and service needed every time for every package, choosing the best carrier and service for any package can mean more work for this shipping system operator, and this slows down the shipping process,” said Mr. Sansone. “In contrast, with a multiple carrier shipping system there is just one system to setup, one system to learn, one system to update and one system to use. Streamlining these processes is a tremendous efficiency gain. The shipping system operator uses one system for everything - no jumping from here to there. This is definitely faster with far less chance of errors. Using just one system means more packages can be shipped in a given period of time with fewer shipping mistakes, such as wrong carrier or wrong service. These are all clear ‘wins’ for every part of the shipping process,” stated Mr. Sansone. “Our users tell us the hardest thing about using a multiple carrier system is making sure you put each completed, labeled package in the right pick up stack for its carrier,” Mr. Sansone concluded.
