The Desktop App

The Desktop App takes you through the shipping workflow. It minimizes data entry, and automates the process as far as possible. Use it to:

  • Create new ship requisitions.
  • Search, recall and reprint the existing ship requisitions.
  • Save and recall favorite shipments.
  • Send email shipment alerts to senders and receivers.
  • Localize shipment to use the proper currency, units of measure and dimensions.
  • Validate shipping addresses.
  • Send international shipments compliant with export rules.
  • Pick the carrier, service, time slot or rate most suited to each shipment.
  • Review shipments, and go back, if necessary, to amend them.

Dependent on additionally configured settings, you can also:

  • Access the Reports and View Apps.
  • Create, process and pay for shipments using your own payment methods with the Personal Shipping App workflow.
You can choose which App you wish to use to process the workflows, Desktop or Desktop Shipping App. This is dependant on App settings, configured in Product Admin. See Desktop Shipping Options for detail.

See Open the Desktop App if you need to know how to gain access.
