Ship4u - Fundamentals • Ship4u is built for a dynamic world. A client can be in charge of the entire process or chose to outsource an inbound call center, fulfillment or customer service. This can be done in an instant. • Simplicity is our main goal. • The web is our tool to perform business. Everything is accessible through the web - daily operation, customer service, reports and set-up. • The goal is to automate the entire order process. No extra equipment is needed making Ship4u efficient and cost effective.
Shorter Cycles • When we began deploying Ship4u in 2000, the third party logistics provider’s typical set-up time was 2 - 4 weeks. In today’s fast paced world it is often necessary to set up new clients in a matter of hours although the requirements are more extensive! • The internet has created a demand for significant faster processing and shipping. • Credit card providers require a 24 hour turn-around for best discount rates.
IT Explosion A few years ago a small 3rd party logistics provider would typically use an Excel spreadsheet to keep track of his inventory and a stand alone UPS shipping station. The needs today are greater. The provider must have a selling web site, a client portal with real time order, shipping and inventory information, email notification to customers, full integration to UPS, FedEx, USPS, DHL, web based customer service, etc. Budget increase for new IT services – non existent
