FORT MYERS, FL – Harvey Software has released the 2006 version of its
best selling product, the Computerized Parcel System (CPS). This newest
version of CPS incorporates updates announced by the carriers for 2006,
including new rates, services and surcharges. Shippers can now set CPS
to show shipping costs that include the fuel surcharges, especially
important as fuel surcharges can account for as much as 12.5% of
shipping costs. The CPS 2006 update culminates a year of development and
extensive beta testing. New UPS® and FedEx® rates
go into effect on January 2, 2006, and new United States Postal Service®
rates are effective on January 8, 2006. Existing CPS users received
their updates in December..
CPS builds on its rich existing feature set with increased shipping
choices in this update. CPS users will enjoy new carrier specific
shipping features as well as enhancements for all CPS shipping. With
this update, UPS shippers in Alaska and Hawaii can choose CPS as their
shipping system. CPS also provides UPS shippers with much easier
tracking of multiple package shipments. FedEx shippers can take
advantage of quicker package processing and being able to specify the
type of delivery signature option preferred. CPS adds the Bound Printed
Matter service, support for the $0.03 postal barcode discount and
support for multiple USPS manifest accounts for qualifying USPS domestic
shippers. Also added is a long list of new international USPS services
that include: Global Express Guaranteed Doc, Global Express Guaranteed
Non-Doc, Global Priority Mail Variable Weight, Global Airmail Letter
Post, Global Airmail M-Bags, Global Economy Letter Post, Global Economy
Books & Sheet Music, Global Economy M-Bags Regular, Global Economy
M-Bags Books & Sheet Music. Plus, CPS allows USPS international
manifesting and supports the NCI 7620 postal electronic shipping scale.
Also new, all CPS users can now: track packages according to a date
range for package records in the CPS shipping history file; use the
complete line of Zebra’s ZPL2 and EPL2 thermal label printers; enjoy the
security of the built-in CPS browser that allows on-line access to the
CPS support site without needing the Internet Explorer or any other
external browser; and the hands-off processing of the CPS Automator now
handles international shipping, including hands-off processing of the
commercial invoice data. Every CPS program supports all of these UPS,
FedEx and USPS shipping services as a standard feature.
"The 2006 update is the 22nd consecutive year that CPS users have
received on-time updates for their CPS shipping software," explained Bob
Sansone, Harvey’s Sales Manager. "Our goal is to not just update CPS for
carrier requirements every year, but help our users by adding new
package processing benefits," Bob continued. "We are very excited about
the CPS enhancements with this update. Collectively, CPS users shipped
over 150 million packages last year, and this number is growing as more
companies use CPS. Obviously, we want to give our users the best – the
fastest and most reliable product possible.” Bob stated.
