Until
now, service management systems have ignored the needs of service
providers to economically and efficiently ship their products back
to the consumers. SARA2000 Shipping takes care of these
needs by greatly facilitating the return shipment of
the repaired products and parts. Through an interface to the UPS
and FEDEX shipping systems, our software automates the shipping
process and eliminates the need for re-entry of customer and product
information.
The
main functionalities of SARA2000 Shipping include:
Prints
shipping labels through an interface with UPS and FEDEX:
Traditionally, the shipping personnel had to manually re-enter all
the customer and product information in order to produce a shipping
label. SARA2000 provides a solution for finally dispensing with
this grueling and wasteful work. Upon the completion and closing
of the work order, our system automatically generates and prints
shipping labels, packaging slips, and other documents necessary
for shipment, by means of its interfaces with UPS and FEDEX.
The printed labels contain all the necessary information,
such as the customer's name, address, the product's model, serial
number, e.t.a. In addition, the system captures the package's weight
and the total shipping charges through an interface to both
the mailing systems and to the standard scales. The only thing that
is left for the shipping clerk to do is wait for the package pick-up
and pay the balance.
Tracks
shipping status: In order to properly answer numerous customers'
questions on when will they finally receive their products, and
to ensure that every package arrives at its destination, you need
to be able to track the progress of the shipment. SARA readily accomplishes
that by being able to generate pick lists that show all the items
yet to be shipped, and shipping reports that list all the items
which already have been shipped, but have not yet arrived at their
proper destination.
Incorporates
customer requirements: Many customers may have preferences regarding
a choice of package carrier, or may want the shipment to arrive
at a destination other than their regular address. SARA2000 seamlessly
integrates these customer requirements in the shipping process,
so our software automatically interfaces with only that system
of the preferred carrier, and automatically generates labels with
not necessarily the regular address, but the preferred destination.
