Varsity Logistics is the best shipping software for companies on the IBM platform.
Varsity’s ShipSoft software is integrated parcel and freight shipping software that helps optimize cartons, carriers, and costs. It’s IBM-native software that integrates with ERP and/or warehouse management system (WMS) software so your company can better manage and control the supply chain.
Non-IBM shipping software, including carrier-provided, stand-alone systems, are placed at the end of the packing line to print carrier-compliant shipping labels. To compare costs means going online or to another carrier system. But with Varsity Logistics shipping software for IBM, rate comparisons can be done at the time of ordering, and can even take into account how best to package the order – into how many cartons and from which warehouse locations – for the lowest rates and fastest service.
Plus, because Varsity integrates with your other IBM i software, ordering and shipping information – and customers’ preferences – can be automatically tied to their accounts.
Varsity Logistics is multi-carrier shipping software built for the IBM platform. It automates every step of the parcel shipping process – from order entry through to shipment track-and-trace and reporting.
1. Cut Shipping Costs
Varsity’s rate shopping software can compare your contract rates across all major parcel and LTL carriers to find the best combination of cost and time to deliver. Varsity’s parcel shipping solution also includes the industry’s first IBM i-based auditing package to ensure your invoices from your carriers are accurate.
2. Optimize Shipping Processes
Varsity’s ShipOptimizer gives companies the ability to accurately determine shipping costs in advance of actually shipping the product. Ship Optimizer quickly identifies the most efficient and cost-effective way to package and ship an order based on the weight and dimensions of each item. ShipOptimizer also supports a variety of advanced fulfillment processes allowing companies to offset rising transportation costs and improve efficiency within the warehouse.
3. Increase Customer Satisfaction
Providing transparency for shipping rates at the time of order enables customers to decide how much they want to pay to have their order by a specific date. Varsity’s ShipTalk extends visibility and communications for greater collaboration with your carriers and consignees. Real-time status updates, electronic filing of export documents, carrier interfaces, and delivery confirmations are all options available to add only as needed.
