to third party transportation solution providers and large-volume shippers. Over twenty percent of the top 100 companies in the Fortune™ 500 rely on our
technology to power shipping throughout their supply chain. From order entry to final shipment, the ConnectShip compliance engine, Progistics™,
facilitates rating, shipping, and electronic manifesting for multiple U.S. domestic and international carriers.
A History of Innovation
ConnectShip was formed when UPS purchased select assets of TanData Corporation on August 15, 2001. However, the history of the innovation that defines
ConnectShip began in 1980 when TanData was created by A.R. Tandy.
In the early 1990’s, TanData Corporation pioneered the use of client-server technology to build the technology that has evolved to become a powerful
carrier compliance engine. TanData applied for patents in September 1993 for this technology, named Progistics. It was the first automated system to
separate carrier compliance rules from those of the shipper through the use of separate “servers” for each carrier. ConnectShip now holds multiple
patents covering technologies for shipping automation.
