Business value

SPS allows packed containers to be rated and have tracking numbers assigned from custom carrier rating engines.

Feature details

SPS works in conjunction with either manual warehouse management packing, wave containerization, or retail store pack-and-ship to send details about a packed container to a shipping carrier and receive a rate and tracking number. The returned rate will be added to the associated sales order as a miscellaneous charge. The returned label can optionally be printed to a ZPL printer automatically. Users specify their account information for each carrier that they use. The system sends container information to the associated service, which then returns a rate, tracking number, and label information. Additionally, a third-party account number can be specified for each customer. (The specific carrier rating engines are not included and must be acquired separately.)
