ConnectShip™ Advisor


Shipping Decisions Simplified

ConnectShip™ Advisor, powered by Progistics™ technology, assists shippers in carrier/service selection by providing information regarding rates, accessorial fees, and time-in-transit data for small parcel, freight, and LTL shipments.

Due to differences and complexities between these shipping methods and rate structures, such decisions may be difficult in the absence of a comprehensive view of available options and their costs. ConnectShip™ Advisor provides this comprehensive view to help shippers make cost-effective carrier/service choices.

Key Features

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.

Additionally, 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.

Carrier Support

The initial release of ConnectShip™ Advisor, version 6.0, includes the following carriers:

  • UPS
  • UPS Freight LTL
  • UPS Supply Chain Solutions Air Freight
  • LTL Carriers

Shipping Functionality

ConnectShip™ Advisor is a rating comparison tool for small parcel versus LTL routing decisions.  It can be integrated with ConnectShip™ Warehouse or UPS WorldShip® to enable manifesting functionality.
