StarShip Web Utilities

 

StarShip Web Utilities installs the StarShip Dashboard and StarShip Rate Quote.

 

The StarShip Dashboard gives users a unified view to analyze and monitor all freight and parcel activity and identify future trends. It allows the entire office to access shipment history, run reports, and track shipment status. To give users access to StarShip Dashboard, you will need to enable the Dashboard Login option for each user. You can access this option in Server Manager under Tools > Users.

Note : The StarShip Dashboard requires Adobe Acrobat 6 or higher to print reports. The interface supports Internet Explorer 6 and higher; no other browsers are supported (Mozilla Firefox, Safari, Google Chrome, etc.).

 

StarShip Rate Quote allows customer service to rate shipments (with freight rules, if applicable) and provide time-in-transit detail before shipments are processed. We provide a web interface that uses StarShip data to rate shipments outside of the StarShip Client.
