Features and benefits of Postmaster include:
- One API for UPS, FedEx and USPS;
- Real-time shipping cost predictions and comparisons;
- Intelligent routing to help determine the best route and carrier;
- Tracking, reporting and notifications to inform customers on the status of their package and send notifications via SMS, email or webhooks;
- Address validation; and
- Service level optimization to track and manage inventory.
“Carrier integration is extremely cumbersome, and their APIs are out of date,” noted Jesse Lovelace, CEO and Co-Founder of Postmaster. “Postmaster wants to not only make this process easier, but by harnessing shipping data and analytics, ensure that every shipment is optimized, routed and billed as efficiently and cost-effectively as possible.”
