Harvey Software, manufacturer of Computerized Parcel System (CPS), is offering its clients the opportunity to save money and decrease their company's carbon footprint. Their CPS Smart RateBots allows users to in real-time, to obtain the best price for their time-guaranteed carrier services. In addition they can also implement an automatic shipping system that minimizes a company's carbon impact for the carrier services chosen.

Even if a freight carrier's standard, ground service may guarantee delivery in one or two days, many companies only consider express services when a date definite delivery is requested. Express service often includes air transportation as part of its delivery process. Whenever ground transportation can be utilized for the entire delivery trip, the package creates a smaller carbon footprint and greener delivery route. Smart RateBots make this best, green choice automatically. Harvey Software estimates that Smart RateBots can reduce the environmental impact of shipping by as much as 20 percent.
