Linking FedEX and UPS into Vantage

We are use UPS WorldShip. It is given an ODBC connection to a specific UD table and we (UPS and I) decided which data is necessary. Then the Worldship exports a file that I have Service Connect suck up and update the tracking number back into Vantage.

Anyone have any expereince in linking these shippers' software into Vantage or the other way around?

Our shipping people are asking how to eliminate deuplicate keying and linking the two together.
Epicor sells two different packages to do this(Insite and I can't
remember the other ones name).



Do not know any specifics or pricing

One thing to note is that if you have InSite you need to get a file from
Epicor every year to update the UPS Rate table. We are considering dropping
support and that would mean I no longer have access to get this rate table
each December\January when it is released. This means we would not be
charging the correct rates when freighting. I am unsure on Fed-Ex works if
you no longer have support.

But I have been speaking with a third party that has integrated some parts
of UPS Worldship with Vantage by the means of pushing and pulling data back
and forth and I may go back to UPS Worldship and Fed-Ex Express.

InSite in itself works very well as far as only having to do the shipment
once in Vantage. Previously we would freight in Fed-Ex or Worldship and
then "ship" in Vantage for Invoicing so it did definitely stream lined the
process.

We use UPS WorldShip, import our Vantage shipping data from Access(custom app), WorldShip provides the data thru the 'mappings' that they provide , the Access record is written with each shipment entered.our app gathers the 'mapped-out' data and uploads it.

Thanks to all. The answer was obvious but the solution, InSite, that is being offered looks quite good to us as this is a really big issue for us.
