The Parcel Carrier Adapters (Carrier Adapter) manages all the carrier integration-related functions of Sterling Selling and Fulfillment Foundation interfaces with the Carrier Adapter to use its carrier-integration functions.
The Carrier Adapter is regularly updated with the latest carrier data, such as rates and special services, and can act as a centralized carrier-integration database and business rules manager. The Carrier Adapter helps you to quickly meet the changing requirements initiated by both carriers and customers, in the most efficient way.
The Carrier Adapter has a data-driven design. The functionality is defined in terms of the relations between data elements stored in the database. Carriers having similar functionality can be incorporated into an installation with minimal engineering effort.
The Carrier Adapter is now integrated into Sterling Selling and Fulfillment Foundation.
