This site is for Printstream customers who are interested in learning more about how Agile Solutions integrate with Printstream and automates multi-carrier shipping, export compliance, tracking and carrier invoice reconciliation.

Who is Agile?

Agile Network is an organization of transportation and logistics experts who focus on integrating automated shipping solutions with ERP systems. We develop enterprise shipping software and support over 1,000 customers throughout North America and Europe. We have experience in a wide range of industries, including manufacturing, industrial, retail, distribution, financial services, and healthcare.

What is our value proposition?

We help Printstream users:

• Reduce transportation costs by controlling carrier service selections, auditing carrier invoices, and eliminating unnecessary surcharges and wasteful spending (estimate 8 15% hard dollar savings)

• Reduce regulatory compliance risks by controlling classification, labeling, documentation, audit trails, and reporting processes for export and hazardous material shipments

• Reduce labor by automating routing, weighing, rating, labeling, documentation, tendering, tracking, carrier invoice auditing and payment for parcel and freight carriers

What solutions can we offer Printstream customers?

• Agile offers a wide range of shipping platforms and options for Printstream users. From the entry level ProShip system, to Facilitator, to our state of the art enterprise shipping platform, AgileElite, to provide the following solutions and benefits:

• Complete integration via web services with the Printstream Fulfillment and Print and Mail modules.

• Fully automated single transaction processing as well as multiple box shipments.

• Automated batch processing for both Fulfillment and Print and Mail providing sub second processing speeds to tackle the largest batch jobs.

• Integration with the Estimating module to enable Printstream users with the ability to estimate freight as well at the time of order creation.

• Ability to support dynamic return addresses on the fly to streamline the shipping process.

• Provide Printstream customers with true Cost vs. Sell freight amounts for carrier invoice reconciliation and customer charge backs.

• Address validation to insure that all shipments arrive on time and to the correct address, thus reducing supplemental fees for address corrections and residential surcharges.

• AgileAudit: automate parcel and freight auditing and payment, benchmark rates against industry average. Benefits: negotiate better rates by integrating with carrier network, monitor accuracy of carrier invoices, reduce labor in finance.

Would I benefit from an AgileElite solution?

Our transportation and logistics systems experts have worked hard with Streamline to prove how we can uncover potential savings opportunities and improvements with our free “Agile 5 Point Assessment”. The purpose of this assessment is to look at 5 areas of your operation that frequently contain “low hanging fruit” for cost reduction and optimized performance:

Rates: Are your rates competitive? Are they competitive in some lanes and not in others? How do they compare against industry benchmarks? Are you auditing your invoices to make sure your rates and incentives are accurately applied?

Spend: Are you selecting the right carrier services for the delivery commitment required? Are you wasting money on surcharges, penalties and accessorials which could be avoided? Could you save money by implementing basic planning and routing controls? Do you recover unexpected costs? Is there one source to analyze all transportation spending (or are costs locked up in silos)?

Process: Have you automated processes that ensure cost-effective transportation spending? Are you wasting time with export and hazmat processing, carrier invoice reconciliations, and generating PODs in A/R? How do you verify addresses, residential status and denied party screening?

Performance: How do the carriers compare in terms of on-time delivery performance, claims settlement, fuel surcharges and invoice accuracy? Do you have the tools to generate carrier report cards during rate negotiations?

Compliance: Have you implemented policies and procedures to ensure you are meeting regulatory requirements for exercising “reasonable care”? Do you perform restricted party screenings for international shipments? Do you regularly classify tariffs and perform license validations? Are you complying with Hazmat regulations?
