December 25, 2009, Newsletter Issue #229: Multi carrier shipping system

Tip of the Week

A multi carrier shipping system provides you information about the best shipping options avaiable for you from multiple carriers. Most businesses can benefit from using multiple carriers to provide their customers with the most flexible shipping choices. You need to decide whether your business is such that you can do all the work from a single stand-alone system or if your multi carrier shipping system needs to support mulitple people in multiple places. If you do international business, make sure your shipping software can support that. Labels should be able to be printed for multiple packages within the same shipment. If you are doing ecommerce, look for a multi carrier shipping system that will keep your customers upated about shipment tracking via email. The shipping software should also integrate with your other in-house software packages, such as accounting, and provide customized reporting on shipping information.
