DHL Shippers Can Now Choose Their Own Software Programs

DHL, a leading express delivery and logistics company, recently introduced ShipRush for DHL, the latest software tool designed for people to ship directly from several popular software applications. ShipRush for DHL gives shippers an easy and efficient way to ship via DHL by seamlessly integrating with their preferred business software.

Shippers using QuickBooks, eBay or Microsoft Outlook will be able to ship directly to contacts within those applications without re-keying address data in a separate shipping system. ShipRush for DHL eliminates the need to copy and paste addresses or to export and import customer information in order to ship.

"ShipRush for DHL was designed to integrate DHL's shipping services with the applications customers already use," said Keith Lovetro, executive vice president of Marketing for DHL. "We're constantly looking at ways to make the shipping experience more convenient, and with ShipRush we've brought the speed and reliability of DHL services to integrate directly with the software applications most familiar to customers."

ShipRush for DHL processes all DHL domestic Express and Ground shipments, while providing greater accuracy by pulling the address directly from the customer's software or Outlook application. In addition to printing a DHL shipping label from their own application, shippers using the new product can track and view shipments, print shipment activity reports, send automatic email notifications to recipients with the tracking number, and access discounted rates with a DHL account number.

ShipRush for DHL also downloads addresses from QuickBooks or Microsoft Outlook, and pulls PayPal confirmed addresses directly from eBay. The software can run on any PC or over a customer's local network so it is accessible to multiple users.
