FORT MYERS, FL – Harvey Software announced today it will release the
newest version of its best selling product, the Computerized Parcel
System (CPS), on January 1, 2007. This newest version of CPS
incorporates CPS features developed throughout 2006, plus is fully
updated with the latest carrier requirements for 2007. This includes the
carrier rates, services and surcharges for 2007. The CPS 2007 update
concludes a year of development and reliability testing. This new CPS
will be distributed electronically to existing CPS users as a December
update and is timed to go into effect on January 1, 2007.
In this release, CPS expands with new shipping features for every
carrier. USPS®
shippers can use more international services, expanded CPS provided
international shipment document choices, and international manifesting.
Using the Endicia®
technology, postage can be printed directly on the shipping label and
automatic address correction can be used for the USPS and every CPS
supported carrier. For UPS shippers, the monthly UPS fuel surcharge
percentage is automatically updated in CPS to give shippers the most
accurate rates as they ship, and CPS now supports UPS services for
shippers in Hawaii and Alaska. FedEx®
shippers have all of the new FedEx Return Services at their fingertips,
as well as the traditional FedEx Ground Call Tag services. Users of U-PIC®
and Parcel Insurance Plan (PIP®)
third party insurance can use a wider range of package values. Third
party insurance reports are easier to print, and there is more detailed
per package record keeping for Alternate Parcel Insurance reports.
"The 2007 update celebrates the 10th anniversary for our CPS for Windows
shipping system,” explained Bob Sansone, Harvey’s Sales Manager. "What’s
exciting about the 2007 CPS update is the size of the list of CPS
features and package processing enhancements that can be used for every
carrier in CPS. Here’s a sample. The CPS Parcel Locator tracking feature
lets CPS users add the same package tracking technology to their website
that is included in the popular CPS SHIP eLERT®
shipping notice that is sent to those receiving a package. For those who
require different return addresses on their shipping labels, the
alternate return address file is much more easily accessed directly from
the main CPS package processing screen. The CPS AutomatorTM
hands-off processing system now uses the CPS RateBotTM
automatic rate shopping comparisons and handles international customs’
documentation, too. An easier dimensional weight entry process makes a
much smoother process to meet the carriers’ expanded dimensional weight
requirements. There are more also more streamlined end of day procedures
for all carriers. The automatic critical CPS update notification always
tells you when a critical update is available so your CPS never gets out
of date,” Bob continued. “And, of course, CPS carries the latest carrier
certifications, including the newly required shipping labels, data
upload such as UPS PLD, and zone and service changes,” Bob stated.
The CPS 2007 update is distributed by download. Existing CPS users will
receive their update in December. An update installation timer will
install it the first time CPS is used on or after January 1, 2007.
