I found that some people confuse StarShip shipping software with Star Trek, the American science fiction entertainment franchise created by Gene Roddenberry. Outside of having "ship" and "star" in common, they are really quite different. StarShip is a shipping software manufactured by V-Technologies. V-Technologies has developed popular shipping software interfaces for Sage MAS 90 and MAS 200, Macola, QuickBooks and Dynamics GP.

There are two flagship shipping software products offered by V-Technologies, StarShip and ShipGear. The differences between the two products are more fully explained below:

StarShip shipping software replaces the UPS WorldShip or FedEx Ship Manager system and supports parcel and freight from the same user interface while providing numerous enhancements that improve productivity for the warehouse, front office and management.

• Tight integration - access item-level detail to simplify International and LTL shipping.
• A vast array of carrier offerings - and the new OnTrac module provides a cost-effective alternative for West Coast Shippers.
• New services such as FedEx SmartPost, UPS Freight & USPS regional rate boxes provide additional cost saving options.

Primarily shipping UPS or FedEx?
ShipGear software integrates UPS WorldShip or FedEx Ship Manager with QuickBooks, Sage MAS 90 and 200, Peachtree by Sage, Microsoft Dynamics GP, Exact Macola and eBay.

• Quickly look up orders and invoices in your Accounting System from within WorldShip or Ship Manager
• Send shipment notification to the email address associated with the document
• Update the document with freight and shipment detail
• Financial subsidies available through UPS Customer Technology Program and the FedEx Tech Awards Program

Last week we had the opportunity to co-host a webcast with V-Technologies where we demonstrated the MAS 90 and MAS 200 StarShip interface. Please view the recorded webcast below:

MAS 90 Support Delightful As A Massage

MAS 90 Support In my experience there are not many things in life as pleasurable as a professional massage customized to your needs. When the masseuse knows your pressure points and where to massage you because they are familiar with your needs there is nothing more relaxing than lying on the table and trusting them to work all your issues out. This is similar to The Attivo Group MAS 90 and MAS 200 technical support plans.

Our MAS 90 and MAS 200 technical support plans are designed to meet the individual requirements of every business just like the different massage packages offered at my massage clinic are designed to delight you based on your individual needs. There is The Attivo Group "Full Value Support Plan" which is typically billed quarterly and designed to work on a budget mutually determined will satisfy your requirements for technical support. Just like the massage clinic this plan incorporates "rollover minutes" if you don't use your entire budget in any given quarter. We also offer an "Unlimited Support Plan" designed for a company that wants complete management of their MAS 90 system handled under one predictable budget. It includes technical support and all aspects of your MAS 90 training, reporting and day to day oversight of your MAS 90 system. The massage clinic I belong to offers a support plan allowing your massages to accrue if you don't use them every month. What is better than an accruing massage you can use at your leisure? You can even double up your massage instead of a one hour session you can get a two hour session. Sounds pretty delightful to me. I want one right now.

We will massage your system into working order with our knowledge, skill and experience so you may relax and focus your attention on the positive aspects of your business.

MAS 90 Support That Fits Like a Glove

Can you relate to this picture?

Recently, I bought a used motorcycle and an RV. I have no idea how to change the oil or perform routine maintenance on either. I brought both vehicles with me on a recent camping trip. I have learned the expensive way to obtain proper basic training before operating either of these toys. For example, when your RV has less than a quarter tank of gas, your generator will not work. If you put too much oil in your motorcycle it will break. If you try to call the manufacturer for help they will refer you to a local service provider for guidance because it is not a mechanical defect, it is user error. If you are a beginner at motorcycling and RV camping it is probably a good idea to learn about your new vehicles before use.

The same goes for your MAS 90 ERP Software or SageCRM Software. Prior to data conversion and software use it is best to know how to use your software by enlisting the assistance of a local service provider. If you convert the wrong data or indicate the wrong information in the wrong place you will likely be displeased with your purchase. It is not the developers fault, it is an expensive mistake that can easily be avoided with the proper training.

Do you have problems with any of the following: MAS 90, MAS 200, QuickBooks Enterprise, Macola and/or SageCRM system but do not get the answers you need? Make your ERP Software work for you, not the other way around.

HubSpot Marketing Analytics Webcast

Complimentary Webcast:

WHAT: Why is Measuring Marketing Analytics Important?

WHEN: Wednesday, January 11, 2011 10:00 AM PT

During this webcast you will learn how to:

Measure how many direct website visitors you have what pages they visit, how long they visit each page, and what company they came from
Measure how many website visitors are triggered from an email campaign, who they are, how many filled out your call to action form, and how many turned into leads
Measure how many website visitors came from Social Media, such as LinkedIn, YouTube, Twitter, Facebook etc and how many of those visitors converted to leads and/or sales
Measure pay-per-click campaign visits, lead conversions, and sales as a result
Measure the effectiveness of your print campaigns, lead conversions, and sales as a result
Measure press release campaigns, lead conversions, and sales as a result

Tools like HubSpot's Inbound Marketing Software measure how many website visitors result from each individual marketing campaign and how many of those visitors result in a form completion and/or sale.

We will also discuss how HubSpot can integrate with your SageCRM system (or other CRM system) to notify your salespeople when a prospect, lead, or customer hits your website, and what marketing campaign triggered their visit. If the visitor originated from a search engine the search terms will be reflected within the contact record.
