| When your UPS Representative agrees that UPS CampusShipTM is right for your business, you can immediately begin to prepare for the implementation of your new shipping solution. Your attention to the following points will help ensure a smooth and timely roll-out. |
 |
| Step 1 |
Ensure your existing computer system can support CampusShip. If not, consider implementing any necessary upgrades. The minimum system requirements for CampusShip are:
An IBM®-compatible personal computer with an Internet connection running one of the following operating systems and browsers:
- Microsoft Windows® XP with Microsoft® Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher, or Netscape® Navigator 7.0 or higher
- Microsoft Windows 2000 with Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 or higher, or Netscape Navigator 7.0 or higher
- Microsoft Windows 98/Me with Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 or higher
- Microsoft Windows NT with Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5
- An Apple® Macintosh with an Internet connection running Mac® OS X or higher with Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.2 or Safari 1.0 or higher
Notes: Netscape Navigator v6.0 and v6.1 are not supported since they cannot adequately render printed labels. If you plan to install an earlier version of a browser that's currently installed on your computer(s), be sure to uninstall the later version first. CampusShip does not support beta versions of browsers.
For best results, configure your browser to:
- Accept graphics
- Accept cookies
- Allow JavaScript
- Enable Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption technology
- Save encrypted pages to disk
In addition, adjust page caching to: Microsoft Internet Explorer - Every visit to page; Netscape Navigator - Every time user views page/Always |
|
| Step 2 |
Choose at least one CampusShip Administrator (you may assign one or more within each department, location, etc.). Administrators typically manage such matters as:
- Company profile and location details
- System users and privileges
- The Corporate Address Book
- Determining reference number values
- Searching shipping history
|
|
| Step 3 |
| Decide how many company locations may use CampusShip and how many UPS account numbers you need for those locations (you may choose a location to be a department, a physical location, etc.). |
|
| Step 4 |
Also, consider user access and training needs. Which staff members and groups should have access to CampusShip, and which shipping privileges should each user have access to? At a minimum, your users should know:
- The available UPS services
- Their user IDs and passwords
- What to do if they forget their ID or password
- How to update their profile
- How to set shipping preferences
- How to use Address Books
- How to ship a package
- How to track a package
- How to void a shipment
- How to access shipping history
|
|
| Step 5 |
Gather pertinent Company and Employee Data:
- Employee names
- Login names
- Locations
- E-mail addresses
- Telephone numbers
- UPS account numbers
- Billing addresses
- Shipping locations
- Client codes
- Department codes
- Cost codes
- Project codes
- Corporate address files
- Personal address files
- Corporate locations
- Reference number values
Group employees by the shipping privileges they should share. Determine how reference fields should be labeled, and decide whether the fields require validation (that is, whether an error message should display when incorrect information is entered). |
