Printer-Friendly Integrate Your Enterprise and Shipping Software and Save

Are you wasting time switching between your business and shipping software platforms — maybe even entering the same information twice? FedEx Compatible Solutions can help you integrate, saving you time and money.
Steve Spangler Science, an educational science-toy company based in Englewood, Colo., faced a frustrating and time-consuming problem. The company was deeply committed to using Apple computers, but the shipping software they were using was written for a PC-based operating system. This meant shipping employees had to handle 125,000 packages a year from a separate computer network that didn’t integrate with the company’s Apple servers and back-end system. The employees were isolated and shipping had become highly inefficient.

Then Steve Spangler Science switched to FedEx after discovering FedEx was willing to listen to the company’s shipping integration issues and help find a solution.

Steve Spangler Science’s Chief Operating Officer Jeff Brooks researched a number of solutions and ultimately landed on TrueShip ReadyShipper, a shipping software that supports both Apple and PC operating systems and is designed to integrate customers with the FedEx® shipping network. When the Steve Spangler Science team shared the solution with its FedEx Customer Integration Consultant and FedEx account executive, everyone worked together to seamlessly integrate ReadyShipper with Steve Spangler Science’s existing back-end system. The result: Employees can now more quickly and effectively handle e-commerce, fulfillment and shipping operations.

Steve Spangler Science is thrilled that FedEx listened to its problems, assisted in integrating a solution, and eliminated its need for multiple operating systems and extraneous hardware. The company also gained user-friendly shipping software and access to the full breadth of the FedEx shipping network. Today Steve Spangler Science employees communicate more effectively and work more efficiently, saving the company time and money every day.
