The Shipping Manifest Module tracks the status of an order from the time the ticket is printed, picked, packed, shipped confirmed and finally invoiced. The status is available, real-time and online, from anywhere within the Activant Acclaim® system.  

These are critical processes for any organization. 

  • Expedite orders with precise knowledge of order status.
  • Improve customer service with real time shipment information.
  • Identify lost or missed shipments immediately 

Another added feature to the Manifest Module is its reporting capabilities.

Here are some of the Report Examples: 

  • Sales and Profit dollars per route.
  • Shipment lines picked per order picker.
  • Lines packed per order packer.
  • Orders by time of day analysis. 

Fuel charges have taken a toll on the company's bottom line.  Now there is an easier way to add a fuel/energy surcharge to offset the high cost of fuel.  Flexibility is the key!  Here are examples of user defined options:

  • With a company default, you can apply a global surcharge across the board.    
  • Utilizing a customer specific table, you can exclude or adjust the amount for that specific customer. 
  • Additionally, you can assess the amount based on Per Shipment versus Per Stop.
