Normally when you request a new shipment, you send the name of an existing carrier and service, for example "UPS Next Day Air", to

Progistics

and you get the corresponding carrier's shipping label in response. But after you have created a new carrier with the Global Server Component, you instead send the name of your custom carrier and service, for example "ABC Super Fast", and you get your customized ABC shipping label in response.

Notice the customized shipping label pictured here. The Global Server Component includes our Custom Documents module which allows you to create not only shipping labels but also other documents such as packing lists, invoices, or pick tickets. After you have shipped your packages for the day, you can electronically transmit a package manifest to your new carrier using the Global Server Component. This transmitted manifest can be formatted to meet your carrier's specifications and sent via FTP or HTTP. You can also print any other documentation the carrier requires by using the Custom Documents module.

Once you have configured a new carrier with the Global Server Component framework, you can quickly enable all of your shipping locations to use that carrier with minimal changes.
