Overnite Launches New E-Mail Invoice Solution RICHMOND, Va., March 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Overnite Transportation Company, one of the nation's leading less-than-truckload carriers, announced today it has introduced a new service providing its customers the option of receiving their invoices via e-mail, offering them greater flexibility in managing their shipping needs. Provided in a convenient PDF file format, Overnite's e-mailed invoices are identical to paper invoices its customers would normally receive in the mail, complete with a copy of their invoice summary and any other applicable shipping documents, including images of bills of lading or proof of deliveries. "Our customers now can have their invoices sent right to their e-mail inbox as a simple attachment," Overnite Director-Systems Development Tom Kubsh said. "It's the EDI solution for small companies and independent business owners who average 10 shipments a day or less." The PDF files are sent with imbedded bookmarks to direct users to specific pages within the document for easy reference to a shipment's freight bill number, as well as additional shipping documentation, including original freight bills, delivery receipts, a bill of lading or a reweigh certificate. There also is a search function allowing users to quickly find detailed information, such as a specific customer name. In addition, Overnite's e-mail invoice files include several options for printing, allowing either the whole document or specific pages to be printed as needed. "Many of our customers communicate with Overnite regularly via e-mail and use the Internet for making their shipment arrangements," Kubsh added. "It made sense for us to provide them with another solution to help simplify their lives and make doing business with Overnite as effortless as possible." For more information about the company's new e-mail service for invoices, contact your local Overnite account manager. The service requires users to have a copy of Adobe Acrobat, which can be downloaded for free from the Internet or from Overnite's Web site.
