UPS now has an iPhone app for shipping tracking and find UPS locations. UPS announced a new application for iPhone and iPod touch users that
not only ships and tracks packages but also uses built-in GPS features
to find the nearest UPS location.
Available at the App store the new UPS Mobile App for the iPhone enables
users to track shipments, create shipments using the My UPS address
book, calculate shipping rates and time-in-transit and then find the
nearest UPS location.
The free shipping app joins other UPS-enabled solutions for Apple users.
NRG Software, LLC., a UPS Read strategic provider, recently added
NRGship Mac to its shipping software lineup as a native Mac application.
"Apple users are an innovative group of customers who appreciate the
capabilities that make the most of their devices. These new solutions
help them take full advantage of the world's largest package delivery
company," said Jordan Colletta, vice president of customer technology
marketing at UPS.
iPhone App
iPhone and iPod touch users can use their devices to access their My UPS
Address Book and Preferences and create shipping labels, which can be
e-mailed in a PDF file for printout. Once the label is printed,
customers can use the application's "find locations" feature, which
leverages the built-in GPS to easily locate UPS.
The new iPhone App doesn't require log-In for tracking. But when logged
in, the application shows a history of tracked shipments and
automatically refreshes when the application is opened. UPS tracking
numbers also can be nicknamed for quick reference.
The shipping app is available for free from the App Store on iPhone or
iPod touch or at www.itunes.com/ups/.
