To achieve and maintain strong customer loyalty, it’s essential to get your inventory in the hands of your paying customers as quickly and economically as possible. The Sage MAS 90 family of products allows you to do just that with StarShip, an innovative add-on module.
StarShip, built by V-Technologies, integrates tightly with both Sage MAS 90 and Sage MAS 200 and makes the entire shipping process more fluid. Plus, when combined with the pick, pack and ship feature built into the Sales Order module, StarShip helps your company become a more competitive distributor and even has the potential to reduce shipping and shipping-related expenses.
StarShip automates the shipping process by:
Calculating freight charges through the use of an optional integrated scale.
Rate shopping between carriers to find cost-reduction opportunities.
Supporting third-party parcel insurance to cut parcel insurance costs.
Printing carrier-approved, bar-coded shipping labels and COD tags at the warehouse workstation for convenience and speedy processing.

FEATURES:
How StarShip Works with Sage MAS 90 and Sage MAS 200
When your warehouse workers finish filling in the Sage MAS 90 or Sage MAS 200 Shipping Data Entry screens within Sales Order, they click the StarShip button.
The StarShip entry screen, populated with all the necessary customer, shipping and pricing fields, automatically appears.
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 all the appropriate customer, shipping and pricing information back into Sage MAS 90 or Sage MAS 200 for follow up and rapid response to customer inquiries.
