32 THE DISTRIBUTOR’S LINK COMPUTER INSIGHTS INC. 108 Third Street, Bloomingdale, IL 60108 TEL 1-800-539-1233 EMAIL sales@ci-inc.com WEB www.ci-inc.com DELIVERING THE GOODS by Dennis Cowhey Are you spending your time trying to make sure you are delivering your products cost-effectively? If you are, you are not alone. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused a massive increase in eCommerce orders. This spike has put a strain on both domestic and international carriers’ capacity. That, coupled with the increasing challenge to find warehouse workers and truck drivers, is driving up shipping costs. It is a lot to stay on top of the constantly changing shipping costs and options. If you are not paying attention, your margins can shrink, or you could end up selling products at a loss. Spending time researching your best shipping method on a daily basis can degrade your customer support as well as your efforts to engage new customers. Computer Insights, Inc. has partnered with ShipEngine to help expedite the processes related to shipping your products by creating a seamless integration in The Business Edge. TM SHIPENGINE and The Business Edge TM Shipping Carriers The Business Edge TM connects harmoniously with FedEx, UPS, and the United States Post Office for instant access to rates, shipping options, and package sizes. Your Rates or Better View real-time rates based on what you have negotiated with each carrier. Having information on your screen while you enter orders allows you to choose what is best at the moment based on shipping cost, time of delivery, carrier capabilities, and more. This streamlined process will save you time and money. You can possibly get better rates than you already have with ShipEngine’s built-in savings of up to 40% off USPS postage and up to 29% off FedEx. Tracking You will know where your package is, when it will arrive, and when it has arrived with one-click hyperlinks in inquiry screens and PDF documents. When your customer calls about a delivery, the answer is only a click away. Labels The Business Edge TM uses ShipEngine and Zebra printers to create durable shipping labels. The labels are written in the native Zebra Printer Language for high-speed and accurate printing. Printing to laser printers is also an option. International Shipments Shipping international packages are just as easy as domestic shipments, with all necessary invoices and customs forms created for you automatically. The documents are created and printed without additional interaction; you never have to worry about forgetting what is required. The Business Edge TM allows you to store a Tariff Classification in the product file, people taking orders do not have to look them up or remember them. BUSINESS FOCUS ARTICLE CONTINUED ON PAGE 114
