Pitney Bowes Inc. (NYSE: PBI) today announced enhancements to
its SendSuite Live™ global logistics solution that add access to
shipping payments and logistics services which can save shippers up
to 20 percent of their shipping cost while greatly simplifying the
carrier payment process.
“Our ability to seamlessly add access to logistics service
providers offering further cost savings benefits and control is
evidence of the scalability and flexibility of SendSuite Live,”
said Mark A. Williams, Director, Distribution Solutions, Pitney
Bowes. “These new features, in combination with flexible payment
services and consolidated billing, offers parcel and freight
shippers unprecedented simplicity in optimizing their shipping
operation. The result is a full suite of best-in-class services
like no other logistics management solution available.”
SendSuite Live’s parcel and freight service access now includes:
Event Management, which provides shippers tracking for shipments
from point of pickup to delivery, for all inbound and outbound
freight and parcel shipments; Performance Management service
offerings include enhanced rate and route management and execution;
Freight Brokerage service that provides small shippers access to
discounted shipping rates; and optimization services that provides
larger shippers an automated process to consolidate multiple
parcels to reduce costs.
Shippers can view their total transportation spend with multiple
vendors in one place to better manage cash flow with the payment
option. The payments service simplifies and streamlines customers’
shipping related payments by bringing their various shipping
charges, such as, parcel, freight and transportation management
services into one statement, eliminating the need to manage
multiple invoices. In addition, shippers have the option to pay in
full or over time, adding greater flexibility and control over
their cash flow.
Launched in May 2011, SendSuite Live’s powerful network of
carrier connections has provided shippers with extensive options to
reduce inbound and outbound shipping costs and gain greater control
of their shipping operation. SendSuite Live™ was developed through
an agreement with Pierbridge, a software development firm
specializing in supply chain processes, and customized to include
the SMB market.
