"At UTHSC-H, we have been using eShipGlobal for a number of years. We have had great success in converting our many campus
users to the system. In addition to the ease of use and online tracking capability, we have benefited by the integration
of eShipGlobal with our financial system. UTHSC-H users ship over 14,000 express freight packages each year and prior to
eShipGlobal, it was difficult and time consuming to process payments for our express freight suppliers. We often had individual
user accounts cancelled or suspended for late payments causing frustration and service disruption. Now the user simply includes
the appropriate account code when entering their air bill information in eShipGlobal and accounting and payment are handled
automatically in the background. We now pay 52 weekly invoices to eShipGlobal each year rather than 14,000 individual transactions
to multiple suppliers. eShipGlobal has eased a huge administrative burden, while providing an excellent interface for processing
and managing our express freight requirements."
