FEATURES:
How Starship Works With Sage MAS 500
When your warehouse workers finish filling in the Sage MAS 500 shipment screen within Sales Order, they launch StarShip.
The warehouse worker selects the shipment using the StarShip shipping information source. Once selected, the StarShip screen is populated with all of the necessary customer, shipping and pricing fields.
If a scale is integrated, the worker places the package on the scale and freight charges are automatically calculated based on the shipping method.
Optionally, the warehouse worker can select different carriers to shop for the best rate.
Once data entry is complete, the shipping label prints from StarShip, it’s affixed to the package, and your shipment is on its way.
Pressing the Save button triggers StarShip to write the freight amount for the shipment and the primary package tracking number back into Sage MAS 500 for follow up and rapid response to customer inquiries.
