For Inventory-centric Manufacturing and Distribution, ShipIt Integration for xTuple ERP Debuts at xTupleCon

Norfolk, Virginia (PRWEB) September 29, 2013

xTuple, makers of the world’s #1 open source Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), and AKA Consulting, a New York-based xTuple partner, today introduced ShipIt for xTuple – a software extension that streamlines the process of delivering products with leading commercial shipping companies.

“Package Processing: Introducing ShipIt for xTuple & PostBooks” is a special session to be presented by AKA president Alex Kleyff at the software company’s first global user conference, xTupleCon, October 10-12, 2013.

ShipIt works on Microsoft Windows operating systems and is available in both Pro and Lite offerings in the xTuple xChange, the company’s online marketplace.

ShipIt for xTuple allows for creation of multiple packages or boxes, and automatically and accurately calculates weight and insurance value from the xTuple ERP inventory. ShipIt also permits assignment of third party billing from a shipper account number stored in the xTuple customer record. Both versions interface with UPS, FedEx and USPS (Stamps.com) in the United States.

AKA’s Kleyff said, “This expert customization for xTuple expands AKA’s focus on delivering affordable, yet sophisticated, business management solutions to a broader U.S. audience.”

Software innovator and ERP veteran AKA delivers xTuple’s enterprise-level technology solutions to small- to medium-sized distributors and manufacturers in New York-New Jersey-Pennsylvania tri-state metro area.
