Ship Smarter Awards Hall of Fame

 

2016 Winners

DataFile Technologies, Kansas City, Missouri

DataFile Technologies is a leading healthcare technology company offering medical record fulfillment, scanning service, and other document management solutions. One vital aspect of DataFile’s business is the accurate and timely distribution of medical records for clients across the U.S. via fax, digital format or USPS. More than 30% of all the medical records DataFile distributes are sent via the USPS using the pbSmartPostage platform.

“pbSmartPostage has completely streamlined our process. We can now print return and destination addresses, postage and tracking barcodes all on one label. We can also run reliable and extensive reporting on all mail and parcels sent using pbSmartPostage,” said Josh Ridens-Nelson, Distribution Coordinator at DataFile Technologies.

 

Fig Tree & Co., San Leandro, California

Fig Tree & Co. is a textile design firm that ships products, including notions, fabric bundles, specialty kits, and its own custom design quilt patterns, to customers around the world. As a design firm with no storefront, precise and accurate fulfillment is critical to Fig Tree’s business. The company relies on its shipping and mailing operations to serve its growing global customer base.

“We continue to grow and build a better business and we need our shipping partners to take care of our new demands and changing requirements. We keep growing thanks to great products like pbSmartPostage, which makes our shipping much easier than before and the reliability and customer service really is a game changer for us,” said Joanna Figueroa, Owner, Fig Tree & Co.
