NRG Package Tool Kit
Making it easier for customers to utilize time saving UPS services, NRG
Software has integrated UPS OnLine Tools into its Package Tool Kit for UPS
shipments. Customers using the integrated solution can easily access
critical shipping information without having to leave FileMaker Pro 7 or go
to a web site and re-enter data.
“Brennan’s Markets ships out 4000 cheese gift boxes during the holiday
season from its 6 store locations. In the past, every store shipped from
their location and it was a struggle to keep up with the inventories at
each store during the shipping rush. For the 2004 Holiday season we used
NRG Software’s Package Tool Kit to centralize all the shipping into one
location. Holiday web site visitors and store personnel entered order
information into our web site. Orders were downloaded at the warehouse
where shipping labels and a personalized gift card message were printed
together on the same label, making order fulfillment a breeze,” said beta
tester Tim Brennan, a specialty reseller of premium fruit, vegetable,
Wisconsin cheese, micro-beer and new world wine.
With the Package Toolkit — you can easily access a wide range of UPS
functionality to provide a seamless workflow for shipping and tracking of
