BLUE DART LAUNCHES SHIPDART^TM

- Revolutionary software makes shipping simple and convenient

Mumbai : September 27, 2001

Blue Dart Express Limited, India's leading express company has announced the launch of ShipDart^TM, a revolutionary new software that interfaces with Blue Dart's system and enables users to manage their shipping from their desktop.

With a click of a mouse, a user can identify shipping locations and choose the optimal product offering, based on costs and time. Going further, users can then enter their shipping information and print their own waybills as soon as their shipments are ready. This facility is fast, efficient and saves the time spent on waiting for a company representative to come in, fill out forms and write out waybills. Shippers receive updates on the tracking status of their shipment automatically.

Mr. Malcolm Monteiro, Senior Vice President Sales and Systems, Blue Dart Express Limited, speaking at a demo of ShipDart^TM said, "This is yet another effort by Blue Dart to streamline shipping logistics and make shipping easy and simple for the user. With ShipDart^TM, our customers can manage their shipping process from their computers."

The user friendly ShipDart^TM allows users to upload all data onto the Blue Dart system at one point, eliminating the inaccuracies of multiple data-entry, and also integrate with their legacy systems to create their own customised MIS.
