Are you offering? Even if you're not, you should be shipping the best way to maximize profits!

Finding the best way to ship your orders can be a real challenge.  Shipping charges can potentially change every day.  Add to this all the new carrier services and you can no longer rely on thinking any one way is right for everything you ship.

In addition,  if you have an Internet store or a business that offers free shipping, finding the best way can mean the difference in enjoying a profit or suffering a loss.  Yes, offering free shipping can be a powerful tool to get customers to buy from you and buy more when they do.  The problem is that offering free shipping can get expensive if it is not optimized for each order processed.

CPS has two very powerful tools to allow you to select the best way to ship.  One tool is the CPS BestWay™ Calculator. This is an interactive tool that lets you play "what if" until you have found the right way for you to ship a package. The second tool is CPS RateBot™. CPS RateBots allow you to set predetermined business rules that the RateBot follows to find the best price for the services you want to use. Each set of RateBot rules can be called automatically. In other words, the CPS BestWay Calculator is the manual tool and CPS RateBots is the automatic tool to help you optimize your shipping.

CPS BestWay Calculator

The CPS BestWay Calculator makes this complicated job extremely easy.  Just enter all you know about the parcel and make your selection.  CPS filters out the options that do not apply, so making a choice is very easy!

For example, if you had a 5 pound box to be delivered to a certain location in the United States, you could just pick the cheapest way to get there...

In addition to using the CPS BestWay calculator while processing parcels, the CPS BestWay Calculator can even be used without using the CPS Daily Entry program.  This means that you can use the CPS BestWay Calculator to find shipping amounts while processing orders in your order entry system or entering invoices in your accounting system.  There are many uses for this easy to use tool.  You can even use CPS RateBots to set business rules to make best way decisions automatically.

The CPS BestWay Calculator lets you zero in on the best way to get your goods to your customers at the best price and when they need it!  Isn't that what really counts?
