FORT MYERS, FL – July 25, 2011 – Today, Harvey Software shared
information illustrating how a multi-carrier shipping system instead of
a ‘free’, carrier-provided shipping system improves the accuracy and
timeliness of shipping system data provided to a company’s accounting
system. Many companies today want to take advantage of multiple carriers
to deliver their packages. If a company uses different shipping systems
for each carrier instead of a single, multi-carrier shipping system, not
only are the actual shipping steps spread out both logically and
physically, but getting data to and from the accounting system becomes
much more complicated. When both package processing and data integration
involve extra steps, data returned to accounting is more subject to
errors and inaccuracies, which may cause accuracy problems in systems
ranging from customer billing to sales forecasts.
“The shipping system should make the shipping staff’s life easier, and
it’s important for the accounting side, too,” said Bob Sansone, Harvey
Software’s Director of Sales. “Use a different shipping system for every
carrier and there are multiple sources of accounting data to keep track
of. A multiple carrier shipping system like our CPS shipping software
becomes a single source of shipping data for accounting, greatly
reducing potential errors and effort,” explained Mr. Sansone. “Here’s an
example that I was just told about by a prospect. The company determined
that one of their carriers was the better choice for their entire day’s
shipping. But, they had already shipped the entire day’s shipping, 120
packages, with another carrier, using separate systems for each carrier.
To fix this, they deleted each package in the first system, then
re-shipped each package in the second system. That was bad enough, but
then they had to tackle the accounting side, adjusting every shipping
charge in their accounting system plus monitoring the original carrier’s
bill to be sure they were not billed for the packages that were shipped
with the other carrier. To correct all of this took hours, but made them
reevaluate their entire shipping procedure. They called me the day after
this happened, saying they never wanted to be in that situation again.
They solved this by purchasing our multi-carrier CPS shipping software,”
concluded Mr. Sansone.
