The new extranet-based product, designed to broaden corporate users' shipping options, allows authorized employees to arrange for package shipments directly from their desktops using established national, regional or local carrier services. SmartShip For Business can be integrated into any corporate environment, through the Internet, using existing national, regional and local carrier service accounts.
Businesses can also personalize the product to fit criteria for multiple users and workgroups.
Business rules can be applied that allow a central system to control access for each desktop. For example, SmartShip For Business can be administered with a range of privileges, offering every shipping service to every user or defining specific access to one service, depending on the administrator's design. This allows system administrators to control costs and services used in their corporate environment without compromising their budget. By entering the destination and origination zip codes as well as the attributes of the package such as weight, content and insurance options, employees have access to all service and shipping rates available to them as assigned by the administrator. SmartShip users can select a courier, print a shipping label and arrange for package pick-up from a central corporate extranet site.
