UPS and Sage Team Up to Help Small Businesses Deliver for Customers
22 Janvier 2018 - 2:05PM
Sage (FTSE:SGE), the market leader in cloud business management
solutions, and UPS (NYSE:UPS), a global leader in logistics, are
offering small businesses a single, real-time source of customer
and order data to simplify financial management and shipment
processing with Sage Business Cloud.
Sage Business Cloud offers a cloud financial management
solution, built on the Salesforce platform, to help businesses
integrate accounting with shipping. With UPS as the only carrier
integrated on the platform, small-to-medium sized businesses can
leverage Sage Business Cloud to get ahead of competitors by gaining
better insight into business profitability. The Sage Business
Cloud integration with UPS is available for customers in the UK,
US, and Canada with plans to expand in other major markets in
2018.
Helping small businesses provide their customers with more
compelling services, UPS offers a free service that gives online
shoppers more control over their residential deliveries. UPS will
send an email or text message to consumers the day before their
scheduled delivery with options to reschedule or reroute the
package to their office, a neighbor or to a nearby UPS Access Point
location. Opening further UPS access points in local small
businesses, such as neighborhood grocery stores, dry cleaners and
mobile phone stores, helps support small businesses by increasing
footfall. There are more than 27,000 UPS Access Point locations
around the world.

With UPS shipping solutions integrated directly within Sage
Financials, Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) can send the
right products to the right customer, at the right price, when and
where they want to. SMEs will also receive competitive UPS
domestic and international rates. Benefits of the Sage and UPS
integration include:
- Power of the Cloud - Single, real-time source
of customer and order data to simplify financial management and
shipment processing. Customers can print a shipping label in Sage
Financials without re-keying order information, saving time and
money.
- User-Friendly Experience - Unified user
experience, empowering customer choice from sales through delivery.
Customers can choose how fast and how much they want to pay by
offering guaranteed air, ground, and international service
options.
- Accurate Shipping Costs - Businesses can
calculate shipping prices during order fulfilment and add those
charges to customer invoices.
- Intelligent Analytics - Knowing all costs in
advance helps businesses evaluate product profitability to make
more informed merchandising, pricing and promotional decisions.
Businesses can fulfil orders quickly, more efficiently, in real
time and offer easy returns.
