IT Products for Shippers and Packaging Designers

This company offers a range of IT products designed to fit a variety of packaging and shipping information needs. These products use handling quality as a paradigm to allow shippers to select a carrier based on the relative quality of their package handling, and packing engineers to design for the environment their packages move in with certainty.

Products include:

• SafeDesign: presents users with scientific and statistical engineering information in the form of engineering level charts and graphs. The company's relational database allows users to customize their queries based on their particular needs including package size and weight, carrier, mode, and source/destination of shipment. Information on temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, drop and impact, and vibration is available to help package designers develop better packaging for their products.
• SafeStats QualityMeasures provide users with access to comparative statistical handling quality data among various carriers, modes, and routes based on package size and weight. Users can compare and analyze carrier quality data to better manage carrier and mode selection, packaging design, and materials costs.
• SafeShip It!: a transactional designed for use by shippers anytime they want to ship a product safely. Shippers can query the program for carrier and mode ranking based on a shipment's size and weight, and the program will provide a carrier and mode handling quality rankings via the Internet. The recommendation is based strictly on current, scientifically sampled handling data.
• SafePassage: provides subscribing carriers access to detailed information on their system only. This includes date and time stamp data on all individual test-leg shipment samples including all of the individual shipment files for their routes. These may be indexed against an industry composite. A carrier can obtain this information only for their system, not a specific competitor or competitors.
