9 Reasons Why Upgrading to
DigitalShipper Shipping Software Can Save You Money 

1. Low cost of acquisition - DigitalShipper Shipping Software is one of the most technically advanced Enterprise Shipping Execution software applications on the market today. DigitalShipper is a fully feature rich software that costs less than most competitive products. A lower cost of entry also means a lower ongoing cost of ownership. Reduce your annual support costs by upgrading to DigitalShipper Enterprise Shipping Software.

2. Free up valuable IT resources - Using a central server frees valuable IT resources. No more updating remote shipping locations or each individual workstation. No high priced PC hardware is required for DigitalShipper Shipping Software to operate. Add a label printer and scale to your existing PC workstation and begin shipping.

3. Improve data visibility - Sending the results of your shipping data back to your corporate software application is still not a common shipping practice. Does Customer Service have all the information they need to answer a customer’s inquiry? How much data entry is required to complete the invoicing process? How many key stroke errors go unnoticed by the data entry person? When you under bill your customer the shipping costs, they usually won’t say anything. When you over bill for shipping you almost always will get a call about it. How much time is spent correcting a billing error? At what cost?

4. Service level shopping saves money - Are you sending a parcel using an expensive overnight service when the carrier delivers to the customer in one day by ground? This can cost your company thousands of dollars in a short period of time. Use DigitalShipper time in transit rules to select the least expensive carrier service to deliver to your customer on time.

5. Ship more efficiently - Using two or more carriers? Still running one line per carrier for processing in the warehouse? Multi-carrier flexibility means one software application at an enterprise level can handle the processing of thousands of shipments per day by your preferred carriers. Multiple shipping sites with unlimited users per site are able to process tens of thousands of parcels a day via the small parcel carriers or hundreds of shipments a day via the LTL carriers. DigitalShipper Shipping Software can handle your volume.

6. Rate Shop using Negotiated Rates - Negotiated rates vs. standard published rates. Are you comparing apples to apples when choosing between multiple carriers? Many shippers use standard published rates for UPS shipping. If FedEx is also on the system you are using the negotiated rates for processing parcels. Shippers cannot accurately rate shop standard rates vs. negotiated rates. Using both sets of rates makes sure you are selecting the correct carrier for the correct reasons.

7. Rate Shop Parcel vs. LTL - Are you rate shopping your small parcel shipment against your LTL carrier's rates? You may be surprised at how a few parcels can add up to significant savings when sent by LTL.

8. Communicate with your customers - Are you e-mailing your customers their shipping information? Some shippers send an email communication when shipping to their customers. This email can contain the date shipped; the carrier used, and even all of the tracking numbers of a multi-parcel shipment. Your customer can track their shipment by clicking the live link to the carrier in the email they receive. This could significantly reduce the number of customer service calls received inquiring about the status of an order.

9. Regional Carriers can save you money - Most regional carriers are priced to directly compete and beat the national parcel carriers. DigitalShipper Shipping Software supports many of the regional carriers used across the country.
