The NextShip® approach to LTL
Automation allows you to replace your independent LTL programs with one
unrivaled system that can do it all!
- rate shop between LTL & non-LTL carriers.
- rate shop across multiple classes within a single shipment.
- end-of-day consolidation
- instantly print all carrier required forms to eliminate handwritten
paperwork.
SmartRoute goes beyond basic rate shopping by
comparing: time-in-transit, weight, destination, special service fees, carrier
performance as set by you, plus the basic freight charges.

for
late deliveries? WebTrack allows you to track shipment status and verify package
delivery via the Internet. This module alone could offset your NextShip
investment.

consolidated manifest and database. Each station can run two sessions
concurrently.
NextShip® for Windows provides
seamless integration with your host application via platform independent
integration tools such as: ODBC-Link, ScreenLink, and OLE-Link. Ship-to
information transfers immediately to the shipping station. After posting the
shipment, shipping charges and other valuable information are sent back to the
host application, instantly!

(Open DataBase Connectivity) standards, such as SQL and Access.
- ScreenLink provides direct connections to other platforms such as: DOS,
IBM AS/400, VAX, and Unix.

interface.

shipping process.

Keyboard Mapping tool. You can assign a task to virtually every key, such as
carrier selection, rate shopping, and more.

shipments. The Translated Code module allows you to translate your internal

repeat customers. For each customer, you define: preferred carrier, credit
status, customized forms, and more.

would
calculate that to be 80 items.
