In Delievery Order, new tab is added called as “Shipping Info” which keep track of shipping services.

In this tab, user can select the service whose quotes is required – UPS, FedEx, USPS or All. Also, the net weight is considered which comes from the Products page. If the weight is not specified in the master or it is incorrect, then the user can enter the weight in Package Weight field.

Step 4 – Generating Quotes :

The available options are as follows –

Once the user has selected the service to go for and all its associated parameters, he can click on “Generate Quotes”, to get the quotes

Step 5 – Getting Tracking Number :

The user then has to select the service with which the package will be shipped by clicking on Accept button. Once the button is clicked, Tracking Number is updated on Delivery Order and Sale Order.

Step 6 – Label :

On clicking Accept button, you also get the label in 2 places – (i) As an attachment; (ii) The quotes table gets replaced by field with widget=image which contains the label

    Our Clients Reviews

    “What stood out about Bista was definitely the responsiveness from the point that we made the
    first contact, they were very quick to respond to my query…and then we scheduled. Because I was
    on a very tight deadline. I wanted it up and running within a month…. They were responsive, they had a team dedicated [to take care of what was happening] …people working around the clock.”

    “I think Bista’s been a great partner. It’s one of the reasons we’ve been working with them for multiple years
    now, even after the initial project finished. I think they have a great talent pool to work with and they’ve been
    very accommodating – so wherever we needed to change things or get additional resources or find additional
    expertise they’ve always been on point to help with that.”

    “[Bista’s] understanding of core business processes and needs is unmatched and unparalleled in their industry. Through working with Bista, we’ve got quantifiable results and qualitative results. We’ve been able to increase our sales double while lowering our back-order fulfillment rate. Previously we were fulfilling with the rate of 85% and since using Bista we’ve increased that to 97%.”
