Shipping Workstation Interface
Integrate UPS or FedEx with ACCTivate!, increase productivity

The UPS & FedEx Shipping Workstation Interface module is an add-on to ACCTivate! that is a great time-saver and productivity enhancer for companies that ship via FedEx or UPS on a regular basis.

The module allows for information such as order and customer information to be shared between the shipping software and ACCTivate!.

The benefits including automatically having order information (Customer Name, Address, etc.) populated in your shipping workstation, can reduce time consuming and error-prone double-entry.

Also, shipping information such as tracking numbers and shipping costs are posted back into ACCTivate!. Again, a major time-saver.

How does it work?
After a one-time setup and configuration, your UPS or FedEx software is given permission to access order information in ACCTivate!.

When it's time to process shipping information, the shipper enters the ACCTivate! order number on the shipping software. All of the customer information is then populated on the screen (i.e. name, company, shipping address, etc.). No need to double-enter the address or choose through several ship-to address for the same company.

The shipment is processed just like any other order, however when you are done the shipping information is sent back to ACCTivate!. When the order is invoiced in ACCTivate!, all of this information, including the lengthy tracking number, is posted directly, saving time and reducing errors.

Benefits Overview
Information Sharing: Automatically have customer and order information available on your shipping workstation.
A tremendous time-saver.

Simplified procedures: Your warehouse will no longer have to retype the customer's address (or choose the specific address from multiple ship-to addresses).

No need to re-key information: Shipping charges, weight and tracking numbers are automatically sent back to the order in ACCTivate!. They're ready for you when you invoice.

Reduce errors: This system can greatly reduce errors because key information is moved automatically.

Simplified tracking: The tracking number is automatically sent back to ACCTivate! for quick package tracking.
