ConnectShip™ ChainLink is a complete application suite for automating the shipment processing
of small parcel and LTL shipments with UPS, BAX Global, Canada Post, Canpar, DHL,
LTL, Miscellaneous, Purolator, UPS Supply Chain Solutions and USPS.
It includes browser-based applications
for shipment processing, office desktop shipping, customer-service
shipment history views, as well as the configuration and management
tools required to support the applications.
Because the applications are browser-based, the ChainLink suite provides
an ideal way to extend shipping functionality throughout the enterprise
with low impact to user workstations. Furthermore, because the applications
include scripting functionality, it helps to extend and customize the processing
flow and enforce custom validation rules, also the applications can be
tailored to a customer's specific business requirements.
Multi-carrier Shipping Capabilities
ChainLink provides total-shipment-visibility
throughout the order pipeline, gives accurate rating and routing information,
and allows for the management of multiple carriers on a single system.
The ChainLink suite provides access to the following logistics
functionality:
- Rating
- Routing
- Shipping
- Shipment status inquiries
- Carrier delivery commitments
- Carrier-compliant labels and
documentation

Complete Shipping Integration
The browser-based applications feature the
scripting functionality based on VBScript, which allows flexible
integration and customization to support shipping the way your business
does it. VB Script can be used to automate tasks and support data queue.
Because the applications are based on the ConnectShip™
Toolkit, the ChainLink applications
deliver the same robust functionality and stability as the entire
ConnectShip™ family of products.
The underlying technology Progistics CS is the rating engine that contains all the business
rules for performing rating, routing, and shipping functions.
ChainLink can be integrated with existing enterprise
applications, such as customer service, order entry, and
warehouse management solutions.
Visible and Accurate Shipping Data
ChainLink provides total visibility of an order through-out
the supply chain by fully integrating with your existing enterprise systems.
Now internal areas such as customer service and order entry can access accurate
shipping information directly from the Internet or Intranet.
With regular multiple carrier updates from ConnectShip™, you and your customers have
