Shipping Solutions export documentation and compliance software allows you to quickly create accurate export documents and stay compliant with export regulations. You can use it as a standalone application, or you can integrate with your company's accounting, order-entry or ERP system to save even more time.
We have just released a series of four videos that talk about the advantages of using the DXM, show you how to set it up using either text or XML files, and explain how to run the DXM from within the Shipping Solutions software.
Part One: Overview and Initial Decisions
This video provides an overview of the Data Exchange Manager, which allows you to import orders from your company’s accounting, order entry or ERP system into Shipping Solutions Professional in order to produce your export documents, file your electronic export information, and fulfill your export compliance requirements. The video helps you decide if the DXM is right for your company and outlines the initial decisions you will have to make before you setup the DXM.
