Courier & Freight Management Solutions - Freight Management Software

Parcel Perfect™ courier tracking is freight management software which uses an SQL database engine for its freight and courier management solution, and is deployed on your server. Various SQL database engines are available from various vendors, such as Oracle and Microsoft. Some of these solutions can restrict you to certain operating systems, which is why we decided to go with Interbase from Borland (www.borland.com). This solution is equally happy to run on Microsoft Windows™ as it is on Linux – the choice is yours. Parcel Perfect™ courier tracking and freight management software was originally developed to work with Interbase, and has since been adapted to work with the open source version of this, being a database engine called Firebird. Once again, you can choose to use either the open source Firebird, or the Borland licensed Interbase.

Our courier tracking experience has determined the most cost effective and stable server solution to be the Firebird database engine running on a Linux server. This is our recommendation for your freight and courier management solution, but depending on your requirements we are happy to deploy on a Windows™ server platform.

The software platform for this freight and courier tracking solution means that any number of workstations may be attached to the database server: the maximum number being determined by the hardware specifications of your server. All workstations must run Windows™ – versions supported are Windows™ 98SE, 2000 Professional and XP Professional. Workstation hardware requirements are determined by the operating system, and available from Microsoft.

Being an SQL solution, only essential information is sent between server and workstation, providing extreme stability for this freight and courier management solution. The failure of a workstation or network connection is a possibility that is taken into account in this design, and will not result in data corruption. The server is the most critical component which should be protected at a minimum with a UPS, and ideally with redundant internal components. These could include a RAID hard-drive configuration, multiple cooling fans, multiple power supplies, etc.         

Freight management software is incomparable for a freight and courier tracking system. By comparison, it is user-friendly and would require the minimum of hardware for the most optimum results in courier company management and services. Install your freight management software today and see the benefits at the end of the day.
