FORT MYERS, FL – July 12, 2011 – Today, Harvey Software publicized
information detailing why better package visibility is a key reason that
small package shippers should use a multi-carrier shipping system
instead of a ‘free’ system provided by the carriers. From a customer
service perspective, keeping up with package delivery status is a key
component to providing the service demanded by today’s customers. Many
companies take advantage of several carriers to deliver their packages.
If different shipping systems are used for each carrier, getting
shipping information quickly and efficiently to customer service and
then on to the actual customer can be significantly slower and more
error prone compared to using one shipping system that handles every
carrier. The quality of package ‘visibility’ that is provided by a
company can make or break customer loyalty.
Today’s shippers may use FedEx, UPS or the Post Office in any
combination with customers focusing on package visibility. “Whether you
manually update and file your order paperwork to lookup when needed or
you use the latest electronic connection to instantly post shipping
data, using a single system for all of your shipping means you get
package data in the same way for every package. This is much more
efficient with a substantially smaller chance of error compared to using
different shipping systems for each carrier,” stated Bob Sansone, Harvey
Software’s Director of Sales. “That’s not the only visibility advantage
for a multiple carrier shipping system. Our CPS will send an email
shipping notification to customers, the CPS SHIP eLERT®, for every
package that is shipped. When a company uses different carrier provided
shipping systems, each carrier’s shipping email notification looks
different from the others, plus it may not be clear they are from your
company. Every CPS SHIP eLERT has the same format, and they are sent
from the shipper’s email account, so the customer knows exactly who it’s
from,” Mr. Sansone explained. “Finally, when a multiple carrier shipping
system provides online package tracking like CPS does, when every
shipping record is stored in one system it’s easy to find the package
status of anything that’s been shipped. All of these add up to better
package visibility which extends into outstanding customer service. Each
of these gains customer loyalty and repeat orders, especially in today’s
‘I want it NOW!’ world,” stated Mr. Sansone.
