June 15, 2009
Making it easier for customers to utilize time-saving UPS services, Artifex Technology Consulting, Inc. is proud to announce the integration of UPS functionality into its enterprise level Merkatis Commerce™ ecommerce system. Customers using the integrated solution can now easily access critical shipping information directly from within Merkatis Commerce-powered websites.
UPS functionality can add a new level of customer service and features to any company's enterprise and Web applications on a global scale. With integrated UPS functionality, you and your customers can start taking advantage of the benefits of synchronized commerce. With UPS built-in functionality, you can improve customer service, reduce costs, and add website functionality. Additionally, you may increase customers' time on your site, empower buyers and give customers peace of mind.
Companies that use Merkatis Commerce now offer their customers the following specific UPS benefits:
- UPS Tracking provides shipping status reports to online customers. Customers can determine status of their shipments, including the time and location of each scan as the package moves toward its final destination.
- UPS Rates & Services Selection lets users price and select UPS shipping services that best fit their needs and budgets. For single packages, this tool identifies all the available UPS domestic and international services and displays published shipping rates based on package specifications.
- UPS Time in Transit displays all available UPS shipping services with their associated scheduled delivery time, date and days in transit. This tool also provides the city and state names associated with the origin or destination postal codes.
- UPS Address Validation alerts customers with an error message if an improper address has been entered. This tool ensures errors can be corrected at the point of entry – long before orders leave the shipping dock.
- UPS Shipping provides greater control over shipping processes throughout multiple offices, branches, dealers or retail stores. This web-based product is a simple, secure and cost-effective way to process and ship UPS packages that can be customized for individual business needs.
