Overview
Preparing FedEx shipments just got a whole lot
easier. With DigitalShipper Enterprise's connectivity to a
FedEx Server, you can automate all aspects of FedEx package
processing, including rate and route calculations, label printing,
electronic billing, and on-line tracking. Best of all, you
can process FedEx shipments on the same workstation you use
for all of your other carrier shipments.
Processing is a snap. Enter shipping information into DigitalShipper
Enterprise’s simple user interface or automatically
access data from your host system using powerful integration
tools. Select a FedEx service. DigitalShipper Enterprise sends
consignee information via TCP/IP to a FedEx- supplied server
which immediately returns accurate rating and routing information.
DigitalShipper Enterprise prepares a FedEx compliant label
and stores the transaction in an electronic file. It's that
simple.
When FedEx picks up the shipment at the end of the day, DigitalShipper
prints a courier report and uploads all of the shipment data
to FedEx for automated billing.
DigitalShipper Enterprise provides you with all of the tools
you need to adapt automated FedEx processing to your unique
requirements.
