In distribution world shipping is last step of your sales cycle and everybody expects it to be fast, how fast? I guess faster than Jimmy John’s fast talker, really really fast.
It becomes crucial for certain companies with complex shipping scenario’s, being able to use multiple carriers, rate shopping, shipping rules, capabilities of packing them in multiple boxes, contents of items packed per box all these features is a must have and be able to ship much faster.
We reviewed couple of shipping solutions that were integrated with Acumatica and we really liked what Starship form V-Technologies had to offer in terms of integrated features, price and easy to work staff.
Starship now supports Acumatica Cloud ERP Ver 5.3 and 6.0, you can process all your shipments via Starship and automate the process of sending email notification with tracking numbers.
