Book Your Shipment On Line.   Once registered as a Lynden EZ Commerce Center user, customers simply log to our site, choose their shipment mode, and select their shipping profile from the list of frequently used information, including origins and destinations.  Next, they make the appropriate selections from drop-down lists, click the Submit button, and the shipment process automatically begins.

Keeping an Eye on Your Shipments.  Lynden's EZ Commerce Center keeps customers in touch with their shipments through its EZ Tracing service. With EZ Tracing, our customers can obtain detailed shipment status information 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Available information includes shipment progress to destination, status reports, and images of signed delivery receipts. EZ Tracing also lets customers "drill down" into our database for up-to-date, accurate status reports and other information including costs, reference numbers, and shipment characteristics.

Information at Your Fingertips.  Another feature of Lynden's EZ Commerce Center suite of services is EZ Reporting. As an EZ Commerce customer, shipment information can be downloaded into reports that help manage the transportation process. Available in Microsoft Excel, HTML, or comma delimited file formats, the reports can be downloaded in any of three categories:

• Management Report. Displays the amount of freight your company has shipped for a specified period of time. Weight and pieces are shown for master bills when there are multiple shipments.
• Operations Report. Displays shipping and receiving information including all status information for shipments within the specified date range.
• Accounting Report. Displays accounts payable payment and cost information on shipments within a specified date range. The report only includes bills that have been invoiced.

And we have just added a new type of report:

• Outstanding Balance Report: Displays any outstanding invoices, including links to shipping documents, charges, payments, adjustments and shipment details.

Information When You Want It: As an EZ Commerce customer, you can now take advantage of our new service EZ Reporting On-Demand. With EZ Reporting On-Demand you can schedule real-time shipment information reports to be sent to you regularly via email. And we have designed a web page where it is easy for you to control all the reports you need. From a few drop-down menus, you choose:

• the type of report, any or all Lynden companies that you ship with,
• the format file type (Excel, HTML or Comma Delimited),
• the period of time the report will cover,
• how often you wish to receive the report,
• what day and time you want to receive it, email addresses you want the report to be sent to.

You can schedule as many different reports to be sent to your company, as often as you like. You can even go in and edit the parameters of your reports.
