Malvern Site Server

 

Overview

The Malvern Site Server is the ultimate solution for any organization looking to build comprehensive, scalable shipping functionality within their own business systems. This multi-carrier, "black box" shipping toolkit enables rapid integration of carrier-compliant rating and shipping functions with minimal coding and on-going maintenance.  

 

With the Malvern Site Server, your company can manage your multi-carrier shipping system from a centralized location, allowing your company to reduce shipping system maintenance and compliance concerns.

 

Features

The Malvern Site Server API provides shipping and rating functions including best-way carrier selection, carrier-compliant label printing, comprehensive reporting, and end-of-day carrier manifesting & uploads for all major carriers including DHL, FedEx, UPS, US Postal Service, SpeeDee, and LTL. Additionally, the Malvern Site Server provides...

  • An industry standard TCP/IP sockets interface for minimal integration effort

  • Always up-to-date carrier rates and technology compliance 

  • Ability to support multiple origin shipping locations from a single, centralized server

  • A scalable solution that will grow with your organization

 

Benefits

With Malvern's efficient design, users can gain carrier-compliant, enterprise-wide shipping functionality for one or numerous origin shipping locations all from a single, centrally located server. With this extremely cost-effective solution, comprehensive, shipping-related functions for all major small parcel and LTL carriers can be implemented using a single, universal interface.  Additional benefits include:

 

Accurate, real-time freight quotes... 

  •  Integrated into your internet shopping cart 

  •  Accessible by your order entry and customer service personnel

  •  Applied in automatic best-way carrier selection processes

  •  Available to shippers for making last-minute re-routing decisions

 

Carrier-compliant shipping labels...

  • Available for "upstream" labeling functions (Pick/Pack stations)

  • Generated for automatic print & apply equipment

  • Can be routed to local or networked printers throughout the office and warehouse

 

Multi-carrier shipping...

  • Available to desktop (front office) users across your organization

  • Integrated with in-motion, fully automated conveyor equipment 

  • Available at any logical stage in your distribution process (pack, ship, etc)

 

Scalable 

With a single server capable of handling several thousand transactions per hour, multiple remote distribution facilities can be easily managed from a single location.  The Malvern Site Server API is extremely well suited to handle daily transaction volumes ranging from 20 to over 20,000. Additional peak or continuous throughput capacity can be obtained as well as fail-safe redundancy by integrating one or more additional, centralized servers.   

 

How it Works

The required connectivity for the Malvern Site Server API is a sockets-based interface using the TCP/IP protocol.  The internal, multi-carrier engine and all of its carrier-specific components reside on a single server. All carrier functions (with the exception of end-of-day processes) are processed locally (no communications with remote carrier APIs required) enabling split second response times for complex transactions including multi-container shipment comparisons between multiple carriers.
