Let's face facts, there's little you, the customer, can do to avoid fuel levies in a world of increasing oil prices, but with a bit of smart thinking you can cut freight costs elsewhere.

Why bear the costs of maintaining expensive, duplicate, proprietary freight management and labeling software on your precious, limited IT resources?  Why keep paying for branded labels, con notes and other stationary and consumables for every different transport company? Run out of bench space yet? Do the "free" carrier system demands on your IT and physical infrastructure limit you to two or three carriers only?

An alternative does exist. FPOS freight management software:

• generates labels and con notes accepted by all carriers for collection, tracking and delivery
• requires only one printer and PC
• integrates with any WMS supported environment
• can be stand alone, or integrated with LAN, WAN, Terminal Server or Citrix
• allows you to compare costs for all carriers used
• emails ASNs
• prints manifests and run sheets
• reports on your freight costs - overall, by carrier, by clients as a percentage of sales costs - and many other  variables
• includes track and trace modules
• processes FREE downloads to all carriers (email and FTP)
• has comprehensive search options for customer service
• can reconcile your freight accounts in minutes

So remember,  just as surely as there's no such thing as a free lunch, there's no such thing as free dispatcher system. Take control of your freight costs. By making a modest investment in FPOS freight management software, you can look forward to long term savings in your freight costs to help keep your company profitable in an environment of rising fuel prices.
