Save Time and Money and Reduce Errors
Anyone who ships knows the potential for errors when shipping information must be entered multiple times. What’s more, getting the costs of shipping back to the accounting offices is another time-consuming step with chances for error. CMShip™ by Cougar Mountain Software Support including Point of Sale and Non-profit Versions allows you to quickly and easily enter Cougar Mountain sales information in FedEx and UPS. Shipping information is sent directly from Cougar Mountain Order Entry to the shipping programs for FedEx and UPS. Customer information in Order Entry is used to ship the order. By linking the customer preferences in Cougar Mountain Order Entry to the shipping program, you can avoid sending overnight to a customer who didn’t want to pay the extra charges, and be certain that the customer who needs an order rushed gets priority. The Cougar Mountain invoice number is printed on the shipping label. Shipping costs are then returned to the Cougar Mountain Software Support including Point of Sale and Non-profit Versions and entered on the invoice. Shipping costs and the tracking number also go to your integrated Accounts Receivable module from Cougar Mountain. This means that billing for shipping costs is much simpler, and so is reconciling your bill.
