98 THE DISTRIBUTOR’S LINK COMPUTER INSIGHTS INC. EXPEDITE SHIPPING PROCESSES & SAVE THE BUSINESS EDGE WITH SHIPENGINE from page 30 The ShipEngine connection eliminates all manual data collection processes that leave room for errors. UPS packages are considered pre-scanned and picked up without requiring the UPS End-of-Day report; drivers know everything they need from what is printed on the label. Shipping Labels The Business Edge TM uses ShipEngine and Zebra printers to create durable shipping labels. The labels are written in the native Zebra Printer Language(ZPL) for high-speed and accurate printing. Zebra’s thermal transfer printing process creates labels that won’t fade or smudge to ensure everything you ship arrives at the appropriate destination. Print from any workstation to any Zebra printer, and never leave The Business Edge TM to visit a carrier’s web portal. You can consolidate shipments by processing multiple pre-paid or collect orders as one shipment; all labels print directly from The Business Edge. TM International Shipments Shipping international packages is just as easy as domestic shipments, with all necessary invoices and customs forms created for you automatically. The documents are created and printed without additional interaction; you never have to worry about forgetting what is required. The Business Edge TM allows you to store a tariff classification in your product file; people taking orders do not have to look them up or remember them. The tariff codes are used to complete required customs and country-specific documentation correctly. Address Validation Live address validation prevents mistakes before your product leaves your building. ShipEngine crossreferences multiple databases to validate addresses and identify potential deliverability issues. ShipEngine supports address validation for virtually every country on Earth, including the United States, Canada, Great Britain, Australia, Germany, France, Norway, Spain, Sweden, Israel, Italy, and over 160 others. The Business Edge TM uses these features to validate addresses as they are entered and validates existing addresses as they are used. The Business Edge TM will also validate addresses when creating new customer records and when new addresses are entered during the order entry process. Addresses only need to be validated once; advanced validation speeds up the shipment process. Your Current Processes You may leave the invoicing for your accounting team, but at this point, the packages are shipped, and it is more efficient to have the invoice automatically created once the shipment has been processed. You can create the invoices immediately or postpone the activity for someone other than the person printing labels and shipping packages. Return On Investment ⬡ The efficiency of the shipping process results in labor cost savings. ⬡ Increased customer satisfaction with immediate availability of tracking information. ⬡ Shipping will be a part of the order fulfillment workflow instead of a detour to offline processes.
