MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 14, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- HighJump, a global provider of supply chain solutions, today announces advances to HighJump Ship, HighJump's multicarrier shipping solution for small parcel and less-than-truckload (LTL) shipments. These enhancements streamline operations and grow businesses on a global scale with the digital, connected and automated supply chain of the future.
Expectations for purchasing convenience, delivery speed, choice and adaptability are on the rise.

- Global expansion: HighJump now supports shipments originating outside of the U.S. and Canada, adding 200+ national and regional parcel carriers in 70+ countries.
- Enhanced HAZMAT compliance: New capabilities for codes and labeling simplify packing and shipping of hazardous materials. This assures proper distribution with qualified shippers.
- Shipping rules functionality: Be it customer class, zones, handling fees, up charges or beyond, exceptions and rules automate how shipping is covered and executed.
- Visual cues: Shipment accuracy and timing is guaranteed with real-time visual notifications on items, enabling best-in-class mobility.
HighJump Ship is part of HighJump's end-to-end supply chain execution software suite, providing visibility and insights into supply chain resources and personnel to improve operations.
