Streamline Your Shipping Processes – Boost Efficiency and Reduce Errors

with RMCship

Are you manually entering shipping data between your Baan or Infor LN system and UPS/FedEx? If so, you’re likely facing challenges with efficiency, accuracy, and wasted time on redundant tasks. We understand these pain points and want to introduce a solution to transform your workflow: RMCship.

According to a recent report by The Manufacturer and IBM, 92% of manufacturers are prioritizing efficiency. However, the manual entry of shipment details—like transportation mode, weight, and tracking numbers—into logistics systems, only to re-enter data back into Baan and Infor LN, is a major bottleneck. This process not only consumes valuable time but also increases the risk of costly errors and delays in shipping and invoicing.

Here’s how RMCship can help:

  • Eliminate Redundant Data Entry: RMCship integrates seamlessly with Baan IV, Baan V, and Infor LN to automatically send shipment details to UPS and FedEx. Once the shipment is prepared, tracking data, freight costs, and other pertinent information are automatically updated with your ERP.

  • Save Valuable Time: By automating data transfer, RMCship can rescue between 1.5 to 2.5 hours per day, 30-50 hours a month.

  • Reduce Errors and Shipping Delays: RMCship removes manual entry, reducing errors and ensuring shipping and invoicing happen promptly. Faster invoicing means improved cash flow and better customer satisfaction.

  • Access Real-Time Shipping Information: With instant updates on shipping details, your customer service team can access real-time information to enhance customer communication.

Why RMCship?

RMCship offers a complete integration solution for Baan and Infor LN systems, enabling you to streamline your shipping processes from start to finish. With on-premise and cloud deployment options, RMCship adapts to your needs, whether you're handling single, partial, or multiple order shipments per carton or pallet.

Don’t let inefficiencies hold you back. Automate your shipping workflow with RMCship, and see the difference in operational speed, accuracy, and customer satisfaction.
