Overview
Transportation efficiency is critical to both customer satisfaction and the bottom line. For high-volume mailers and shippers, our AscentTM software system reduces transportation and logistics costs and streamlines mail, parcel, air express, and LTL carrier shipment processing. It helps shippers and mailers compare service options and save money without compromising delivery requirements. AscentTM is a powerful multi-carrier shipping solution, supporting on-line carrier automation including UPS, CPC, FedEx, Purolator, Canpar and DHL. AscentTM links you to carriers and, with its Smart Shopping function, selects only carrier services that meet your delivery and cost of delivery requirements for the package.
AddressRight®+ Addressing Software improves delivery performance and eliminates carrier address correction services costs. e-Track retrieves delivery status of individual packages or groups of packages from carrier websites and downloads the information to AscentTM's history file. Real-time decision-making and analysis tools reduce costly errors, enhance productivity, and control shipping costs. E-mail and fax shipment notifications significantly reduce customer phone calls and improve customer service.
