“With the explosive growth of parcel shipping, organizations
need to embrace new technologies and processes to connect their
physical and digital worlds to help manage their inbound and
outbound parcel management more effectively,” said Mark Shearer,
EVP and President, Pitney Bowes Global SMB Solutions. “I would like
to congratulate the winners of the 2017 Ship Smarter Awards.
These companies are setting a new standard for businesses in the
U.S. by optimizing their shipping and mailing to grow their
business and deliver greater value to their customers. The growing
volume of parcel shipping has also led to growing complexity for
businesses to manage multiple carriers, optimize their inbound
parcels, and meet the changing expectations of clients and business
partners. From sending autographed baseballs and fine coins to
ensuring students receive their cookies from home, this year’s
winners are all shipping champions.”
The 2017 Ship Smarter Award Winners are:
- Haverford College – Integrated
Shipping and Receiving
Haverford College, a leading liberal arts
college, receives and delivers more than 400 packages a day to its
1,250+ students and faculty across its campus, just outside of
Philadelphia, PA. Haverford leverages Pitney Bowes SendSuite
Tracking software to automate package handling, while also
providing full accountability for parcels until they are delivered
to students and faculty. Barcode readers, electronic signature
capture, and tracking and reporting functions also helped the
school simplify the management of inbound parcels by recording the
details of each parcel, including date, time, carrier, sender and
intended recipient. For outbound parcel management, Haverford uses
SendSuite Live software to centrally manage all outbound shipping,
eliminate carrier address correction fees, and select the right
carrier for each package, based on the specific delivery need.
“SendSuite provides full visibility into our
global shipping workflows and helps us optimize and streamline our
operations,” said Geoff Labe, Director of Conferences, Events and
Campus Center Services at Haverford. “We’ve gone from four day
delays and never ending lines at our pick-up window, to an average
turnaround time of less than 2 hours. SendSuite is the perfect
technology complement to our physical transformation, which
included redesigning our mail and package processing center and
pick-up window.”
- Wipro Limited – Inbound Parcel
Management
The Main Hub Office for Wipro Limited, a
leading information technology, consulting and business process
services company, in East Brunswick, New Jersey, receives at least
50 "trackable" parcels each day. Wipro uses Pitney Bowes SendSuite
Tracking Online inbound mail solution. This cloud-based system
provides Wipro with information on the location and chain of
custody of an unlimited number of inbound trackable mailings. It
combines software, barcode technology and handheld devices to
electronically log the date and time of receipt — bypassing the
need for manual processes. Handheld devices work in tandem with
SendSuite software to record each time an envelope changes hands,
capturing signatures and tracking delivery from receipt by the
company to the ultimate recipient. It also provides e-mail
generated alert from the system notifying the recipient of package.
The solution has reduced logging time by two thirds, from an hour
to 20 minutes.
"Electronic logging is less time consuming
for us, and it leaves less room for error," said office manager
Diana Rosado. "We can now say with confidence, the package was
delivered to the recipient. We have the notation of when the mail
was delivered to that department. We know who signed for it."
- Minnesota Twins – Outbound Parcel
Management
The two-time Major League Baseball World
Series champion Minnesota Twins send and receive more than 50,000
pieces of mail, parcels and packages a year, ranging from tickets
and merchandise to even players gear. The Twins use the Pitney
Bowes SendPro P3000 to save time and minimize the cost of every
package sent. The SendPro software automatically applies the best
rates available for USPS envelopes and packages as the envelopes
and packages are processing. This is particularly useful when the
Twins Community Fund sends baseballs, bats or signed photographs as
in-kind donations to various local nonprofits. Because the team
foots the bill for these shipments, it is important to ensure that
each package is sent at the lowest possible rate.
“With the SendPro P3000, I have everything in
one area, and I’m able to do everything at once,” said Josh Fallin,
office services coordinator with the Twins. “With Commercial Base
Pricing, we can send the same number of tickets using First Class®
Package Service, and they reach their destinations in the same
amount of time, for 27 percent less. For us, that adds up to
savings of $20,000 a year. The Pitney Bowes products we have are
top notch.”
- UnCruise Adventures – Outbound
Parcel Management
UnCruise Adventures, a small ship adventure
cruise line that connects guests with nature and wildlife while
exploring some of the most remote and scenic destinations on the
West Coast of the Americas, ships a variety of parcels each day via
Pitney Bowes SendPro. From a single letter or brochure to dozens of
boxes for a tradeshow or urgent items that need to reach one of its
vessels, SendPro gives UnCruise Adventures access to the best
commercial rates for Priority Mail®.
“We mail and ship both B2B and B2C
domestically and internationally,” said Wendy Wilford, Marketing
Administrator at UnCruise Adventures. “We use SendPro to get the
best commercial rate for Priority Mail® shipments.”
Pitney Bowes offers a full range of shipping and mailing
solutions that streamline the sending and receiving of parcel,
letters and flats, reduce the complexity and deliver cost savings,
including its SendSuite line of parcel shipping and receiving
solutions and SendPro family of sending solutions that combine
shipping, mailing and payments on one integrated platform.
