There simply is no reason why your company should be shipping merchandise using a labor intensive, burdensome and inefficient system. Why should your business waste valuable employee time manually entering data, tracking shipments and hunting down lost packages?
InfoShip eliminates all these issues once and for all.
A Single Workstation Saves Money
Imagine the time and money your company would save if you could use one shipping workstation for all your needs. With InfoShip, you can. Gone are the days of a workstation for each carrier. Whether your shipping needs are domestic or international, InfoShip provides multicarrier support in one convenient workstation.
One Automated Workstation for all carriers and all tasks.
In the old days, the shipping department had a lot of work to do. It had to find the best a carrier for that particular shipment, go to its workstation and then manually enter the information for the label and the necessary shipping documents. Tracking the package afterwards was a major headache.
With InfoShip one workstation does it all—regardless of carrier or your location— with the push of a button. After reading the scale and scanning the barcode, Infoship decides how the package will ship, fills in all the needed shipping information for the correct label and any accompanying documents, prints these and then monitors the package afterwards. The operator can do this all at one station, regardless of carrier.
Finding the Best Rate
InfoShip gets your company the lowest rate available for shipping whether its Small Parcel Shipping, Less than a Truckload (LTL), full Truck Loads (TL) or any combination. InfoShip works will all of the carriers’ different technology and quickly compares rates. It looks at each carrier’s rate for the same type of shipping—ground, air or overnight for example—finds the best one and prints the label, all with the click of a mouse. In fact, if your company has a truck or a corporate fleet, InfoShip will also tell you if it is less expensive to ship it yourself.
Best Discount over Retail
Carriers usually give companies who do a large volume of shipping a discount over the advertised rate. This spread can help reduce the lost profit on deeply-discounted products or allow you to offer free shipping on certain products. InfoShip will find you the best discount considering your shipping variables and the carrier’s offer. Based on your business rules, InfoShip will then ship accordingly.
Zone Skipping
If you can ship from more than one location or have a choice of delivery locations, InfoShip can also save you money. InfoShip will do a calculation called “carrier hub loc…

Address Validation
Carriers don’t like mistakes. Most charge $10 simply because your company made an error in the shipping address. That means the wrong street number on a package that cost $5 to ship will cost you $10 to correct, unnecessarily eating up your profit margin. Fortunately, if you use InfoShip this won’t be a problem. With address validation, InfoShip makes sure it’s a correct address before making a label.
