After shipping from individual shipping stations shippers had to go back to Oracle ERP to update tracking numbers, Freight charges and other important information. Juggling data between different applications was very time consuming.
How does ShipConsole help?ShipConsole is a multi-carrier shipping tool along with direct integration to Oracle ERP systems that provides user interface screens. The multi-carrier API allows Dover to find the best option fast for all their shipping requirements.
Shipping information for every package is stored on a single database so that the clear reporting is achieved with data throughout the organization.
Shipping efficiency is improved with the use of a single application rather than the going to multiple apps for different carriers and shipping needs.
ShipConsole connectivity with ShipExec server helps as ShipExec internally uses Connectship to load custom rates, generate custom documents, etc.
