Airborne Express Software Automates Shipping Operations

By Ed Parker

The NYSSCPA Airborne Express discount program now offers an easy, convenient, and fast way for Society members to ship packages. With Lightship, Airborne Express's shipping and tracking software, automated shipping is now as close as a personal computer.

Designed for any office environment, Lightship is a powerful tool that gives Society members control of their shipping and tracking 24 hours a day, 365 days a year--whether shipping a little or a lot, within the United States or around the world.

With the point-and-click functionality of Windows, Lightship allows users to prepare and print shipping labels, check rates and delivery times, schedule pickups without using a phone, track shipments quickly, and create reports, among other features. Lightship is Y2K compliant and available by download from Airborne Express's website, http://www.airborne.com.

Airborne Express and the NYSSCPA have been affinity partners for a number of years. To receive special discounts and low rates on overnight, next day, and second day service, Society members should call Airborne Express at (800) MEMBERS (636-2377), between 8am and 7pm, and identify themselves as NYSSCPA members. For more information, contact NYSSCPA Manager of Member Services Ed Parker at (212) 719-8382, (800) 633-6320, or eparker@nysscpa.org. *
