Leading Provider of Transportation Management Software Integrates with Minisoft’s eFORMz to Fulfill Retailers and Manufacturers Diverse Shipping Requirements
SNOHOMISH, Wash.—October 2, 2012—Minisoft Inc., a leading provider of forms generation, transactional email, CRM, two-sided thermal label and legacy connectivity solutions, has announced today that it has formed a strategic alliance with Agile Network to integrate Minisoft’s eFORMz with Agile Network’s Agile Ship for the benefit of their retailing and manufacturing customers.
Agile Facilitator combines the shipping solution Agile Ship with the forms generation solution eFORMz. Agile Ship is a parcel and freight shipping solution that optimizes fulfillment operations and reduces transportation costs for retailers and manufacturers. Integrated with a variety of carriers and shipping services, Agile Ship allows shipping staff to electronically weigh packages, determine the rate of transport, create labeling, provide electronic manifesting, designate consignees, handle waybills and verify addresses, among other operations. Agile Ship fully automates the shipping process, from pack verification through weighing, rating, routing, labeling and execution, allowing customers to ship better and save money.
With eFORMz, Agile Ship users can format and personalize any standard application print stream or spool file to create attractive, functional and efficient documents that can be distributed via print, fax, email and the web. In addition, eFORMz can populate forms directly from databases such as Oracle and SQL Server.
Agile Facilitator will allow users to extract any data fields from their application output with eFORMz, which will then output a CSV or XML file with the captured fields. Agile Ship will monitor for this file, promptly determining the most cost-effective courier and ship method based upon package weight at the point of shipment.
