TUG Connects Preview #2: Introducing StarShip for CloudSuite Distribution

This is the second of my three posts previewing this month's TUG Connects 2018 conference, and it has one very big piece of news: Expertek has engineered access to ION for the StarShip shipping system—enabling a full integration with Infor's CloudSuite Distribution platform.

Thanks to this advance, StarShip is now one of only two shipping software products that works with CloudSuite Distribution. (And when you see the demo at our booth at TUG Connects, I think you'll agree that it excels in every aspect of automated shipping management.)

It's big news for small-to-medium distributors.

The StarShip system has long been recognized as a shipping application that offers remarkable value, providing the functionality of shipping systems that cost significantly more. Integration with CloudSuite Distribution can enable "frictionless," end-to-end order processing that's affordable to small-to-medium-sized distributors. And the less friction you have in your processes, the more opportunities you have to improve sales, margins, and customer retention.

Add powerful shipping functionalities to your Infor stack.

Expertek is pleased to offer the StarShip shipping system from V-Technologies to both SX.e and FACTS users. StarShip is the all-in-one shipping solution that works with common carriers like UPS, FEDEX, USPS, and DHL, and also with freight companies for LTL (less-than-truckload) and TL (truckload) shipments. StarShip supports integrated electronic scales, Hazmat and NAFTA documentation, rate shopping, and a host of other standard features. StarShip:

• Handles International shipments
• Prints carrier approved shipping labels
• Handles dimensional weights
• Allows for multi-package shipments
• Supports 3rd party insurers and 3rd party billing
• Emails shipping confirmations and notifications

And now, all of StarShip's capabilities integrate seamlessly with CloudSuite Distribution for true, end-to-end distribution automation.

Finally, a shipping application that really works with CloudSuite Distribution. See the StarShip integration in action at Booth #11.

The StarShip/CloudSuite integration has the potential to transform operations for many distributors. What about you? To see all the advantages of this advance, visit the Expertek booth (Booth #11) at TUG Connects 2018 to see a demo.
