E-Ship is
comprised of the following components:
Pack Line
Scanning
Pack Line
Scanning captures package level detail using a symbol barcode scanner attached
to a PC keyboard. This unique packing operation allows you to perform the many
functions using only a scanner.
This scan-only
approach dramatically increases the accuracy of packing as well as reducing the
amount of labor required. Pack Line Scanning can also be used to ship without
capturing package level detail
Pack Line
Scanning can also be used to ship and capture pack level detail required by the
retail industry. Many times these shipments are made via LTL or Contract
carriers. In this case E-Ship works together with EDI and the Bill of Lading
granule to create Advanced Shipment Notices (856) for the retail industry.
Standard Pack
Standard Pack
provides an ability to easily pack many standard packages such as cases without
scanning and weighing each package. This feature is often used to comply with
retail chain package labeling and detail requirements.
Fast Pack
Fast Pack
provides an alternative to the scanning interface but the Pack Line Scanning
granule is required because it uses the same package detail transactions.
Scales Interface
E-Ship
interfaces with various scales using an OCX control. This control can be easily
configured to support most scales by entering communications port, baud rate,
scale commands and the definition of the returned data in the scale setup
window.
UPS Manifest
The UPS Manifest
granule utilizes the Host Manifest Upload interface to provide Rates Shipment by
Package (Domestic & International),
support
Hundred Weight, prints UPS
shipping labels, create
Electronic Manifest transaction,

Manifest Upload.
FedEx / FedEx
Ground (FedEx Ground formerly RPS)
FedEx Manifest
provides Rates Shipment by Package (Domestic & International),
supports
FedEx and FedEx Ground, sends Electronic Manifest transaction via
Internet to FedEx,
receives

prints
FedEx compliant labels,
prints

Electronic Manifests.
LTL (Less Than
Truck Load)

granule provides
a planning function, allowing multiple sales orders to be combined for shipment
Bill of Lading
Bill of Lading
provides shipment
planning allowing the consolidation of multiple sales orders into a single
shipment, along with other important functions.
