Pitney Bowes to Launch SendSuite® Live: Enterprise Shipping Platform with Full-Range of Cloud-Based Services
April 27 2011 - 8:00AM
Business Wire
Pitney Bowes Inc. (NYSE: PBI) today announced it will expand its
shipping solutions portfolio to include SendSuite® Live, a
web-services based global logistics management solution that will
secure its position as the preferred provider in the North American
shipping market. The scalable platform provides SMB and enterprise
shippers broad access to global carriers and significant cost
savings. The new offering will be available May 1.
Recently named the leading global supplier of transportation
management systems by ARC Advisory Group, Pitney Bowes’s new
platform adds to the company’s spectrum of digital shipping
solutions solidifying its position as the market leader. Last
month, Pitney Bowes launched the cloud-based pbSmartPostage™ for
parcel shipping by remote workers and small businesses that allows
a customer to print stamps and labels for packages anytime,
anywhere.
“The increasingly complex global logistics environment has
created unprecedented challenges for customers and carriers.
Traditional Transportation Management Systems are not keeping pace
with the increasing rate of change. Innovation in new products and
services by carriers and value added service providers is not
reaching customers fast enough due to technology limitations and IT
resource constraints,” said Patrick Brand, President of U.S.
Mailing, Pitney Bowes. “With our launch of SendSuiteLive, we are
changing the game by leveraging web services to create a unified,
best of breed, global logistics management platform that
streamlines logistics processes, reduces business risks and deliver
cost savings on a global scale. Our worldwide sales and services
footprint delivers both the local and global deployment,
integration and ongoing support requirements that our customers
demand.”
SendSuite Live provides access to a wide range of global parcel
and freight carriers’ rates and services, allowing a shipper to
choose the best delivery and cost options. It offers origin point
shipping for international shipping and cross-border rating and
consolidation. SendSuite Live, with easy to use applications, also
offers the ability to optimize routing and streamline the logistics
process with carrier and vendor compliance, and effectively manage
regulatory compliance concerns, such as SOX and Export
requirements. It is a fully scalable solution that integrates
easily with internal ERP, WMS and CRM systems. By integrating with
Connect+ Customer Communication Series mailing solution, mailing
and shipping costs can be tracked throughout the organization. The
desktop capability provides the ability to allow on site and remote
employees access to rate shopping with various carriers, and can
provide company specific negotiated carrier rates, while adhering
to business rules set by the enterprise.
SendSuite Live combines Pitney Bowes’s heritage of mail service
shipping with a superior platform that integrates with cloud-based
applications to deliver a wide range of transportation management
services to businesses of any size, simply and economically.
Complemented by the company’s nationwide customer service, along
with flexible financing options, any organization can leverage cost
savings and improved operations management with this shipping
management solution. For more information, send your inquiry to
SendSuiteLiveinfo@pb.com. The public unveiling of SendSuite Live
will be at the National Postal Forum in San Diego, California, May
1-4.
SendSuite Live was developed through an agreement with
Pierbridge, Inc., a software development firm specializing in
supply chain processes, and customized for SMB market applications.
In an associated move, Pitney Bowes recently announced an agreement
with ConnectShip®, a technology platform that provides increased
functionality for deploying global transportation carriers and
compliance through the SendSuite Live platform.
