shipping departments. Allowing the customer to track our shipping system.

This could have many advantages for our customers.

 You could generate an export invoice in your export department, which could be transmitted
via the computer to our office.
 You could trace your shipments more readily.
 This would allow you to determine rating fees more accurately.
 Finally, your accounting department would benefit.
All in all, your export operations would achieve greater efficiency.
