RE: Integrated Shipping Solutions

Dale:

Our company considered both Varsity and Pfastship.  We decided to go
with Varsity.  Currently we have RPS (FedEx Ground) up and running in
our shipping department.  The change over went very well.  Our shipping
department regularly complements the system saying that their shipping
lives are so much easier now.  We are currently working on implementing
FedEx Domestic and International.  The interface between MAPICS and
Varsity is pretty clean.  It is controlled through a User Exit.  So it
is a seamless process from Picklist, to Mapics Shipment creation to
entering the Varsity system for completing the shipment.  If you have
any other questions about Varsity, please feel free to contact me off
line.

Thanks!

MAPICS list,

 

We are considering implementing an integrated multi-carrier (carrier
independent) shipping system. Our primary goal is to support parcel
shipments but will want to expand it to include freight shipments in the
future. We are considering solutions from Varsity Logistics and
Pfastship and would like to learn about your opinions on either of these
and why they did/did not fit your business requirements.

 

Thank you,
