Program reveals shipper's handling practices; saves you packaging costs

Food & Drug Packaging, Dec, 2000

Your products must arrive intact. But you also have to control shipping costs. Wouldn't it be nice to know exactly how your products will be handled in distribution before you design their packages? Well, now you can.

SafeShip Int'l Inc. provides relative quality data on the global shipping industry. Using Internet-based technology and processes, SafeShip downloads scientifically valid, statistically sound information directly to your personal computer. You can then select a carrier based on the quality of the carrier's package handling, and design packages specifically for the environment they move in.

SafeShip provides: (1) SafeDesign, which provides engineering-level data for improved package design and testing; (2) SafeStats Quality Measures, which details comparative statistical handling quality data among various carriers; (3) SafeShip It!, which renders carrier and route selection information based on a shipment's size and weight; and (4) SafeShip Partners Program, a revenue sharing program which helps subscribers ensure that their suppliers of critical components deliver those products safely with the least chance of damage.

These services can help you find profitability in areas such as freight insurance and warranty costs. You can also identify and correct supply chain breakdowns and reduce returned goods.
