About Lynden's EZ Commerce Center

Bringing You the Latest Technology. Lynden's EZ Commerce Center makes it easy for our customers to conduct business with innovative, advanced automation. The EZ Commerce Center enables customers to request pickups, generate documents, trace shipments, view delivery receipts, download shipment activity reports any time, and receive invoices electronically, any day - all without having to make a phone call. The service is free to any customer and requires no minimum shipment or revenue commitment.

In addition, Lynden can use EDI applications to meet the needs of individual customers who need even more advanced data solutions.

Book Your Shipment On-line. Once registered as a Lynden EZ Commerce Center user, customers simply log into 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. A shipment confirmation is sent to the customer, and Lynden handles the rest. Automated Documentation. Lynden's EZ Commerce Center saves customers even more time by automating documentation. Whether customers need a Domestic Air Bill, International Shipper's Letter of Instruction, Export Declaration, Bill of Lading, Pickup Manifest, or Domestic and International Shipping Labels, the system remembers your shipping information, and it fills out the appropriate labels and documents for your type of shipment.

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:

Get reports whenever you want them. Now you can schedule 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, and the 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.

Reduce Your Paperwork. Introducing EZ Invoicing, the latest addition to Lynden's EZ Commerce suite of electronic services that help customers do their shipping more efficiently, while reducing paperwork and saving time. When a customer signs up for EZ Invoicing they will receive an email message notifying them that their latest invoice is available online. The email has a link to their PDF invoice, as well as links to important supporting documentation, such as Bills of Lading and Proof of Delivery.

Your Information Integration Solution. Lynden can initiate Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) programs tailored to our customers' specific requirements. Utilizing EDI, we can share vital shipping information electronically and improve information accuracy, productivity, and response time, as well as reduce costs.

We use the EDI*Port translation software package. This package supports any EDI standard, including ANSI X12, EDIFACT and proprietary standards. EDI*Port supports multiple standards and multiple versions of the same standards simultaneously. We can also implement XML transactions. Lynden's VAN is Transettlements and we can interconnect to anyone's VAN as well as directly to customer computer systems for EDI transactions via FTP, AS2.
