Get Your Shipping Rates InOrder
FedEx Corp. recently announced the following changes to its rates.
As of Monday, June 2, 2014, the FedEx Freight fuel surcharge indices increase by 3 percentage points.
As of Thursday, January 1, 2015, FedEx Ground will apply dimensional charges to all ground packages, regardless of their sizes.
InOrder customers with a shipping manifest system interface under support can rest assured that they will receive updates necessary to support these computations for the carriers that require them. Interfaces to other shipping systems that do not require the new features will not be affected.
NOTE: Shippers must coordinate any necessary upgrades with their shipping manifest vendor, allowing enough lead time to test the upgrades before the new rates begin.
InOrder ERP System’s Scannable Timesheet Entry adds Efficiency to the Warehouse and Accuracy to Job Costing
Entering timesheets is easy when you’re sitting at a desk. Simply open the timekeeping software and enter your time as you complete your tasks. But when personnel are moving around a warehouse all day, tracking time can get a little tricky. Every employee does not have his or her own computer station, and having employees log in and out of one station all day isn’t very efficient.
Using the Job Cost module of InOrder ERP, warehouse personnel simply scan their badges and the barcodes of the task they are working on from a daily Active Task Menu. InOrder keeps track of the time between each scan. Typically, a project manager or warehouse manager can also scan a task and then scan the badge of each person who will work on it. The project manager can also track who is still clocked in, and then press one button to end a shift completely.
