  • Value

    XPS delivers value throughout the outbound packing and shipping process in both improved operational efficiencies and cost reduction. Internal efficiencies can be realized by reducing bottlenecks, increasing throughput, providing the exact same process for the end user regardless of the carrier or service and making the tracking information available from within SAP. From a customer service perspective, improvements can be seen in providing freight estimates at the time of order, address validation, custom email alerts and POD with signature image visibility in SAP.
