UPS's Expense Management Solution
UPS's Expense Management Solution combines UPS CampusShip® with UPS Flat File Bill to change customers’ business processes. This change results in cost savings for shipping tasks, and a more organized and efficient way to manage shipping procedures. In addition, UPS Quantum ViewSM Notify e-mails package status providing greater shipment visibility and ability to offer greater customer service.

BENEFITS

  • Reduces cost - managed shipment processing

UPS CampusShip allows central control of the shipping process in an environment with multiple users in multiple locations. Costs are better allocated because CampusShip requires employees to enter a reference number per shipment that corresponds to a validated list of department, customer/client or project codes.

  • Empowers all employees to perform desktop shipping, saving time in mailroom
  • Ensures address accuracy with address validation and both corporate and personal address books, which reduce address correction changes
  • Allows the import of other address books
  • Shipping administrator controls access to shipping services
  • Eliminates unallocated expenses - managed bill reconciliation

CampusShip and Flat File Bill streamline the process of cost allocation by generating electronically transmitted billing information that makes it easy to charge back shipping fees either to internal departments or external clients.

  • Starts the process when employees are required to enter a reference number for every shipment - cost code, client code, or department number
  • Provides detailed electronic billing information that can be quickly and easily sorted to allocate costs
  • Eliminates time-consuming follow-up while enabling accurate, automated bill reconciliation/allocation
  • Creates reports automatically - customizable to help manage the business
  • Improves customer service

Flat File Bill provides customer with better visibility of billing information and through Quantum View Notify, customers receive increased visibility into shipment status. Quantum View Notify enables proactive e-mail notification to shippers and recipients of delivery status.

  • Faster response to customer inquiries
  • Reduces response time to customer inquiries - employees and recipients can easily track shipments from their computer
  • Offers proactive customer service - Quantum View Notify enables alerting of customers to head off a problem
  • Offers shipping administrator total visibility into employees shipping use and UPS billing data
