ConnectShip™ Advisor
ConnectShip™ Advisor is a shipment rating application designed to assist
with carrier/service selection decisions based on rates, accessorial fees and time-in-transit
information. Advisor allows integration with order management, ERP and other backend systems.
What can ConnectShip™ Advisor do for you?
ConnectShip™ Advisor rates both palletized shipments
and individual packages. It enables LTL and small parcel shipment rate comparisons based on
published or negotiated carrier rates and handling charges. Shippers can rate shipments using
UPS, UPS Supply Chain Solutions Air Freight, and LTL shipping services.
ConnectShip™ Advisor generates reports that can be used to analyze and compare freight charges for
historical choices versus alternative services. This data can be extracted for further
analysis and reporting beyond the built-in reports.
