By Carolyn J Dawson, TMCnet Contributor


The Enterprise Shipping System connects to all of the main parcel carriers such as FedEx, UPS, USPS (News - Alert) and DHL, and also to over 4,000 freight and LTL carriers. The Enterprise Shipping System is mainly developed to operate in concert with many of the Order Management applications available for Salesforce CRM and the Force.com platform. This is possible by correctly implementing the ultimate fulfillment and shipping phase.


The Enterprise Client on a shipping station PC is used to pull order and item content information from orders/picklists. After that, it is processed for shipment. The PC is equipped with bar code scanners, weigh scales and thermal label printers. Inorder to find out the best, least expensive carrier and method of delivery for all shipments, the Enterprise Shipping System communicates with carriers in real-time. All details related with the shipment such as selected carrier, method of delivery, negotiated rate, published rate, ship date and tracking numbers are then put back to Shipment, Carton and Carton Detail objects in Order Management application of the user.
