Managing courier and parcel shipments often means juggling multiple carrier portals, manually comparing rates, and re-entering the same data over and over. This fragmented process is not only time-consuming but also prone to costly errors. Today, we're taking a huge step to solve this challenge.
Your New, Unified Courier Workflow
This integration brings the entire courier booking and management process into your central command center. Forget about switching tabs or exporting data. Here’s how your new, streamlined workflow looks:
Step 1: Compare Rates in Real-Time
When creating a courier shipment, you can now enter your package details (dimensions, weight, destination) just once. Our system will then fetch real-time rates from our integrated partners, allowing you to compare services and costs side-by-side to choose the best option for every shipment.
Step 2: Book Directly from Modaltrans
Once you’ve selected the best service, you can confirm and book the shipment with a single click, directly within the Modaltrans interface. There's no need to visit an external website or re-enter any information. The booking is instantly confirmed with the carrier, and all details are saved to your shipment file.
Step 3: Print Compliant Labels Instantly
As soon as the booking is confirmed, the system automatically generates a carrier-compliant shipping label. You can print this label directly from the shipment page and attach it to your parcel, ensuring it’s ready for collection and scanning without any extra steps.
Why This is a Game-Changer for Your Courier Operations
This integration is designed to deliver significant, measurable benefits to your business:
- Massive Time Savings: By eliminating the need to log into separate carrier portals, you can reduce the time spent on booking and managing each parcel shipment by up to 80%.
- Cost Optimization: The ability to instantly compare real-time rates from multiple providers ensures you can always select the most cost-effective service for your needs, directly impacting your bottom line.
- Drastically Reduced Errors: With a single point of data entry, you eliminate the risk of typos and mistakes that occur when copying information between systems. This means fewer address errors, fewer billing disputes, and happier customers.
- A Truly Centralized Workflow: Your courier shipments are no longer isolated tasks. The booking details, tracking numbers, and financial costs are all automatically logged within the Modaltrans shipment file, giving you a complete, unified view of your operation.
This is another major step in our mission to create a single, all-in-one platform for every aspect of your logistics business. By integrating key courier networks like Air Menzies and EasyPost, we are eliminating another source of friction and giving you the tools to operate more efficiently and profitably.
