Integration for SAP® enterprise resource planning (ERP) software

Customer Solutions has the experience and expertise to embed premier shipping capabilities using ShipExec™ software. Working with SAP, releases can be implemented for your business. ShipExec technology also follows SAP best practices, and standard SAP functionality is used whenever possible. Our experts can help integrate key capabilities, such as shipment tracking, accessorials processing, and automatically combining same destination shipments into your business planning software. With ShipExec technology, your ERP platform can help determine the best mode and service options for shipping, as well as make packing and weighing part of the same process for your staff. Working together, ShipExec functionality and your ERP can reduce times to final delivery and expensive address correction charges using address verification. Adding ShipExec software will allow you to pre-fill customer requirements and automate customs filing to help reduce errors and improve your customers experience.

Functionality made personal

ShipExec™ technology provides all the features you demand in your shipping applications:

  • Integrating shipping functionality at any point in the order pipeline
  • Interfacing your shipping directly into management, order entry, and customer service systems
  • Managing carrier-compliant labels and shipment documentation requirements for multiple carriers

Features that support your business

Using ShipExec multi-carrier capability can support more than 150 different carriers. With that many carriers, we've made sure to include a way to create and manage shipments, including small parcel and freight. ShipExec functionality also gives you global access, which means that you can originate your shipments internationally and to over 100 countries worldwide. Options for mode and packaging optimization give you choices; not only in box sizes, but also in the carrier and services selected. Precision processing takes the guesswork out of how to make shipping decisions. We enable your forward-thinking business logic to be embedded in the work-flow at any point during the process.
