Lynden Transport Announces Web-based EZ Invoicing

February 2, 2005 - Lynden, has unveiled a new service called EZ Invoicing. Part of the company’s EZ Commerce suite of web-based services, EZ Invoicing enables Lynden customers to obtain their billing electronically, via email rather than in paper format.

“Now EZ Commerce customers are able to receive their invoices faster via email instead of via the Post Office,” reports Alex McKallor, president of Lynden Transport. “Since we provide customers’ billing in Adobe’s standardized Portable Document Format, those using the service can save their invoices electronically, as well as print and forward them at their leisure.”

Not only do EZ Commerce customers have access to the EZ Invoicing feature, but they are able to request freight pickups online, generate and print shipping documents and labels, and have access to management, operations and accounting reports – all directly from the Web. The service also builds and stores users’ shipper and consignee information for quick retrieval on subsequent shipment requests, minimizing time spent on shipment entry.

Additionally, registered EZ Commerce users automatically qualify for Lynden's EZ Trace service. With EZ Trace, Lynden customers can obtain detailed shipment status information via the Web, including shipment progress to destination, status reports, and images of signed delivery receipts. EZ Trace also lets users drill down through shipment information to obtain costs, reference numbers, and other specific shipment characteristics.

“Customers who utilize the suite of EZ Commerce features really like it,” according to Mike Oliver, vice president of sales. To learn more about EZ Commerce, prospective customers can, go to www.lynden.com/ezship.html, take a demo and sign up using the EZ Commerce link.
