What makes Freight+ different than all other shipping systems?
With Freight+ the carrier (UPS, FedEx, LTL), service (Next Day, Ground, BOL) and options (Saturday Delivery, Signature Required, Bill Collect/3rd Party etc.) can be pre-selected for the shipper. This eliminates 95% of the decisions that the shipping clerk needs to make and removes the possibility of costly errors.

99% of shipments are simple and straight forward
So why present the shipping clerk with a screen with every option available for a carrier. Simply show the shipping clerk the Ship-to address and critical information (Pre-Selected Carrier, Service and Billing Type), press the save disk, enter the weight. It can't get any simpler or faster than this. All other carrier options are available to the shipper with the click of the mouse; but for 99% of your shipments they are not required. Be efficient by presenting the shipping clerk with a straight path to getting a shipment processed with the least amount of thought and effort.

Think about the shipping process
The fastest, most efficient method to entering a shipment is with the least amount of key-strokes, user input or movement of the mouse. This means fewer errors, returns and much, much higher shipping volume.

In Freight+ a shipment can be completed with as little as two key strokes. Depending on the number of fields that are configured for user input.  All fields on the Transaction Screen can be turned on or off for user input.

Minimum steps required to complete a Freight+ Shipment

1. Scan or Type the Sales Order/Reference and press Save Disk
2. Enter Weight of package and press the save disk to complete shipment.

Labels are automatically printed, Accounting System is updated with Tracking # for each box, Price and Cost are updated, Advanced Email with Detail,  Item, Qty Shipped, Qty Ordered, Qty Back Ordered, PO #, Order # etc. are sent to your client and International Documents are automatically completed and printed.

All of this is accomplished with as little as 3 key strokes. 

Separating the user input into logical steps is much faster than presenting the shipping clerk with one screen with many tabs, options and fields to navigate.

Think high volume, speed  and least amount of input for your shipping clerk
Push packages out the door as fast and efficiently as possible. 

1. Scan
2. Enter Weight
3. Save

Next Shipment

Extremely fast and efficient with little to no user input or thought required.

Our standard links to ACCPAC\SBT, IAS, VAM and TIW ALL use VFP to run Freight+ from inside of their software.

Freight+ was developed using Microsoft Visual Foxpro and designed to run inside of YOUR VFP application The original concept of Freight+ was to build a multi carrier software package that would handle the major common carriers and that could be incorporated into other VFP applications.

ANY VFP application can be programmed to make calls to Freight+ with minimal programming effort.
