Small Package Module

Each day, approximately 900,000 packages shipped by UPS, FedEx, or DHL, arrive late or not at all. This means that almost a million consumers receive sub-standard service, which hurts the reputation of the manufacturer or seller, and over $7,000,000 in refund money goes unclaimed daily. Trinity Logistics’ Small Package Module (SPM) is specifically designed to help. SPM does this by:

Retrieving service-guaranteed refunds

Making address corrections

Gathering data to provide carrier performance reports and carrier rate negotiation bids

With the capabilities of our Small Package Module, your business can improve the reliability of its small package shipping, reduce the amount of money spent on sub-standard performance, and use its gathered data to analyze your shipping performance and make the best carrier rate negotiation bids possible.

More Than Freight CostWe have invested considerable time and cost to address and simplify the transportation process. This effort alone affords you time savings that can be put towards other priorities.  Our information management tools allow your company to instantaneously save time and money.  We have developed web-based software that allows us to audit, track, and drop invoices directly into your existing software.  This allows time for your employees to remain focused on developing and increasing your customer base.  Research shows that it often cost companies $11.00 to $20.00 to process and pay a single invoice.  With Trinity’s IT solutions we can immediately offer you drastic savings on this process.
