Description:
DPAS does not provide shipping support for small parcel carriers such as USPS, FEDEX, and UPS. The Census Bureau ships to its field offices via small parcel carriers. By DPAS not having a shipping capability, this requires dual input several times to exchange information with the FEDEX website and DPAS management of the shipment.
Recommended:
Recommend DPAS develop a shipping process that will consolidate orders by shipping address (AAC) and integrate those shipments with FEDEX using the available FEDEX APIs.
Mission Critical:
This is a new system capability.
Benefits:
Reduces the level of effort to perform a shipment, and increases accuracy, and automates the tracking of shipments.
Frequency: Daily
Users:
This change would streamline small parcel shipments for Census Bureau and possibly other users of DPAS that preform similar shipments.
