Neopost Logistics Systems Introduces iLS.PRE-SHIP(TM), a Desktop Express Shipment Preparation Application



Neopost Logistics Systems Places Virtual Shipping Room on the Desktop

Neopost, a worldwide leading provider of mailing, addressing, document handling and logistics systems, announces the launch of its iLS.X(TM) family of web-enabled Internet and Intranet-based shipping and logistics information management solutions. With iLS.X companies are now able to combine various functionalities to create their own customized Virtual Shipping Room at each employee's desk. These applications are designed to help businesses gain control of their shipping and mailing operations. They are the result of years of development, and incorporate in a new medium over 20 years of Neopost multi-carrier rating, manifesting, labeling, and integration technologies. iLS.X consists of a suite of products, which offer enterprise-wide shipping management, outbound logistics, tracking, and departmental budgeting solutions operating from a central server.

The iLS.X family is comprised of three key functional modules which are combined into a Pre-Ship(TM) package accessible via a browser on individual desktop computers:

iLS.RATE(TM): By having high speed access to multiple carrier express services, users will be able to identify the best rate versus desired service option (rate shop), to provide the most cost-effective shipping solution. Carriers can include USPS, UPS, FedEx® Express, FedEx® Ground, Airborne, and DHL with the ability to add regional carriers and local couriers.

iLS.TRACK(TM): Users have real-time access at their desks to multi-carrier parcel tracking information and USPS Delivery Confirmation data within a single screen to monitor the delivery status of each of their shipped parcels 24/7.

iLS.VALIDATE(TM): Users have the option to verify ship-to address information to a certified USPS database, saving on lost or delayed deliveries, re-shipment costs, and carrier assessment fees for erroneous addresses.

iLS.PRE-SHIP(TM): Combines the three functionalities above with a custom-designed user interface. Users may preprocess an express shipment or overnight letter at their desktop computer by easily
entering shipment information into fields on their desktop computer using a mouse, pull down menus, and an electronic address book. They may rate shop for the preferred shipping option and add any special shipping instructions. Non-legible handwritten shipment request forms are replaced with bar coded, address-verified printed forms at the user's desk. Upon arrival at the mailroom or shipping station, the operator scans the bar code, and the package information is automatically populated into a Neonost shipping system and then processed for carrier pickup. Shipping instructions are applied automatically and the sender's transaction file is updated electronically with detailed parcel information. An e-mail shipment notification is automatically forwarded to both the sender and recipient confirming the shipment time, carrier service, estimated delivery time, package ID information, and a direct link to the carrier web site for real-time tracking. iLS.PRE-SHIP includes
department/GL code validation and account budget validation databases.

iLS.PRE-SHIP is the ideal solution for corporate administrators, enabling them to gain control of their escalating express parcel shipping costs while simultaneously automating their shipping processes with substantial reductions in shipping costs and overhead.
