CXT Software released X Dispatch 9, a new version of its delivery management software, during its annual Customers and Partners Meeting held October 17.
X Dispatch is a comprehensive software solution designed for time-critical delivery businesses that helps them to better manage all aspects of their operations from the front office to officers in the field. Performance enhancements have been added throughout this new release to provide customers with more opportunities to streamline and automate their operations.
“The release of X Dispatch Version 9 further demonstrates our commitment to providing our new and existing customers with a solid product built on the latest technology.” stated Dan Calderone, CEO of CXT Software.
X Dispatch 9 boasts over thirty new feature enhancements. Highlights include new toolsets for task management, customer relationship management (CRM) and database backups. Weight Scale capabilities have been added, allowing customers to capture the correct weight on parcels that were previously understated or approximated. Multi-location companies can keep separate offices separate with the new business units feature.
New integration capabilities include tapping into your telephone system’s CallerID data to pre-populate incoming new order forms, and fully automated systems which allow third-party shippers to directly inject orders into your workflow.
Next Flight Out (NFO), a feature new to the previous release, now has a consolidation manifest which allows multiple orders to be grouped on the same line haul or flight.
Existing customers can begin taking advantage of these new features immediately with a free upgrade to X Dispatch 9.

CXT Software, a leading edge provider of same-day and expedited delivery software has tested several mobile devices currently being used in the delivery industry as well as a few devices still in beta status. They are pleased to announce that over thirty devices tested proved to be compatible with X Mobile, making it the industry’s most flexible mobile application. These devices ranged from Nextel mobile phones to the more ruggedized mobile computing devices such as the Psion Teklogix Ikôn.
X Mobile is a Java-based mobile application that can be installed on many mobile devices, giving companies several hardware options from Java-enabled mobile phones to mobile PDA devices on any mobile network. The current application works on mobile devices from Motorola/Symbol, Psion Teklogix, Intermec, Honeywell, and others running on the major cellular networks.
From the outset, X Mobile was designed and developed to work on a wide range of devices,” states Derek Figg, VP of Operations for CXT Software. “Our customers need technology that has the ability to grow with them. It is very important for them to have the ability to make choices in their software features, devices and even cellular networks. X Mobile can give them that kind of flexibility without sacrificing usability or functionality.”
In addition to basic two-way email messaging to and from
drivers to confirm pickups and deliveries,
X Mobile gives delivery companies the capability to perform
bar code scanning and signature captures while relaying
all of that data back to the dispatcher in real-time. For
routed deliveries, dispatchers can send route manifests
directly to each driver’s mobile device. From there, the
user-friendly X Mobile interface walks the driver through
each step of the route while instantly recording OS&D
data.

CXT Software, a leading edge provider of same-day and expedited delivery software announced today its addition of weight scale capabilities to its flagship product X Dispatch.
X Dispatch now has the capability to read weight readings from a scale connected via a COM port. Once a parcel has been scanned, the current weight on the scale will automatically be saved and the parent order re-rated with the new weight value, requiring no additional interaction from the user. Orders can be re-rated as quickly as they can be placed on the scale and scanned.
“Our customers can potentially see an immediate gain in revenue by capturing the correct weight on parcels entered with understated or approximated weight,” said Derek Figg, Vice President of Operations for CXT Software. The scale CXT Software used to develop and test this functionality was the SRP-300 Digital Bench Scale from Transcell Technology.
“The impact on our business has been huge. We are now stopping lost revenue and gaining additional unrecognized revenue directly related to this enhancement”, says Alex Dombrowski, Director of Information Technology for WPX Delivery Solutions.

CXT University end user training session.

of our enterprise software,” said Dan Calderone, President

applications, there are advanced features that get overlooked
by newly trained users. CXT University is designed to address
the recurring training needs of these advanced X Dispatch
and X Route users”
“CXT University is just another example of your commitment to help our business succeed. We walked away a better company after attending. CXT University explained and demonstrated software solutions to many of our everyday logistical problems. I now have better understanding of the powerful tools and features integrated within X Dispatch,” said Shelly Miller, Owner of Dependable Express.

CXT Software, a leading edge provider of same day and expedited delivery software announces their partnership with Conducive Technology Corporation. This partnership enables seamless NFO (Next Flight Out) integration into X Dispatch, the flagship delivery software solution from CXT Software.
NFO (Next flight Out), which is based on information provided via Conducive Technologies’ Corporation Pathfinder service, gives CXT Software’s customers the opportunity to access this information quickly and efficiently without leaving the order screen. The new NFO feature of X Dispatch, allows one to find information about flights for shipments that are time critical.
With the click of a button, this feature will take the address information, pick- up time, and delivery time and use it to give you a list of flights and relevant tracking information that will ensure on-time and efficient national package delivery. All potential flight candidates are organized with color coding to notify CSRs if the flight has risk factors that put the delivery in jeopardy of on-time performance.
The information that is returned includes: Flight number, carrier, departure time, arrival time, airport codes, equipment type, distance from the pick up to the airport, distance from airport to delivery, weather conditions and expected delay times. Once flights have been analyzed and a best-candidate is chosen, a simple double click on the flight desired will automatically populate on the order form under the flight tab.
NFO maximizes efficiency while reducing the risk of selecting flights that are more likely to be late. Additionally, through CXT Software’s partnership, its customers gain access to Conducive Technologies’ Pathfinder Web decision support tool which includes world wide air schedules (both commercial and cargo), flight status and e-mail event notification.
“The same-day air component of X Dispatch does everything we would expect from our air courier software and the integration with Conducive Technologies’ Corporation Pathfinder service enables operations to find and trace flights more efficiently. We have been very happy with X Dispatch since we switched our ground operations 3 years ago and moved our air operations 3 months ago with the same positive results,” says Stuart Cohen, Vice President of Crossroads Courier.
About Conducive Technology Since 2002 Conducive Technology Corporation has focused its creative and technical expertise at the freight logistics industry. Working closely with industry experts, we have diagnosed the challenges and created innovative technical enhancements to help forwarders acquire and manage information in this highly competitive marketplace.
Conducive Technology Corporation is the developer of Pathfinder, an information delivery platform used by logistics professionals to save time and money in the making and monitoring of air cargo scheduling decisions. By using Pathfinder to consolidate, add value to and deliver real-time information, shippers can enhance customer service while immediately lowering costs related to air cargo transportation.

Striving for the Good Life
I recently heard a speaker talking about “The Good Life”. Based on research cited from various sources, he boiled it down to what it isn’t, and what it is. Overall, I thought these were very good words of wisdom.
What It Isn’t
What It Is
Whether you agree with the above lists or not, it does get you thinking. It’s contrary to what we see in the media, magazines, newspapers, etc. One might think that the first list would bring total fulfillment, but that isn't what the research shows.
So, how does this tie into software? I’m glad you asked. I'd like to focus on one bullet point above, Control Over Your Life, and add to that gaining control over your business. CXT Software has solutions available that can help you achieve a level of control over your delivery business that you may not have seen before. We’re doing our part at CXT Software to help you live The Good Life.
Nextel Outage
We are getting nationwide reports of outages on the Nextel data network. If you are experiencing outages with your Nextel services, you should contact your Sprint/Nextel technical support representative with questions regarding this matter.
The issue appears to be affecting the majority of Nextel phones, but not all. It also appears that the issue is not related to location, based off the number of calls we are receiving to report outages.
While we are aware that these outages are occurring, you must call Sprint/Nextel technical support to resolve this problem.
Happy Holidays
It's that time of year again. It's a time when many of us reflect on those things that we give thanks for, and I am no different.
As I sit in my office, just coming back from a business trip, I am reminded of how special the delivery industry is and how fortunate I am to be part of it. I do not know of another industry that customers can truly be called friends. Dan and I have been invited into the homes of our customers to have dinner with their families, invited to stay the night (would never hear of having us stay in a hotel room), invited to celebrate birthday parties and Bar Mitzvahs, and to spend enormous amount of quality time sharing personal things and simply hanging out. I am truly touched by everyone’s graciousness and generosity.
For all of you that I have met, thank you for being there, and for those of you I haven’t, I look forward to calling you 'friend' as well. I never thought that I would say “it is good not to have customers”, but instead, having friends is so much better.
I wish all of you a Happy Thanksgiving and a safe holiday season!
— Lyndon Edmonson

You can reduce your paper waste, decrease postage and save time—three money-saving reasons to GO GREEN with CXT Software.
Ensenda and CXT Software
If you are not already familiar with the logistics company Ensenda, they are a very exciting company using technology in transportation unlike any nationwide provider that we have worked with in the past. Ensenda allows customers to utilize a network of independent last-mile delivery companies as if they were all part of a common company. This is accomplished, of course, using technology and the Internet.
Several years ago Ensenda approached us at CXT Software to create a scanning application connected to our X Dispatch enterprise software that would allow drivers and warehouse staff of companies using X Dispatch to receive order and parcel data from Ensenda at a wireless handset, collect scan data, and report chain of custody information back to Ensenda as parcels moved from warehouse to delivery. This was what Ensenda called Phase 1 integration. We were excited about the prospect of partnering with Ensenda to see this vision fulfilled. We used our existing X Mobile application and made several modifications that would allow for the needed flow of information. Both CXT Software and Ensenda were very pleased with the results of Phase 1 and rolled this technology out to several carrier companies beginning earlier this year.
As Ensenda has grown and their service offering has grown more diverse, Ensenda added a host of new feature requirements for carrier integration. This Phase 2 requirement meant several more enhancements to X Mobile and X Dispatch. We were again pleased to be able to make these enhancements quickly and accurately allowing us to receive a certification from Ensenda as a preferred provider of software for its carrier network.
We continue to offer development and support to Ensenda and look forward to seeing their vision develop and prosper.
How I Was Robbed of Being Crowned 'Disco King'
Returning home after the four-day shindig that was the first-ever combined MCAA/NTLA Executive Roundtable event, I had a little time to reflect on its significant highlights. I first have to say that the idea of combining these formerly separate events into one was an excellent one. Myself and the 200-plus attendees were able to reap the benefits of the MCAA's courier industry advocacy work as well as the efforts of the NTLA in establishing industry standards for certification of banking and pharmaceutical couriers under one roof. I personally found the presentations of the economist, the sales and marketing coach, and the pharma supply chain panel to be the most interesting sessions.
No convention would be complete without some evening entertainment, and this one was no exception with its Tuesday evening reception at the Stillwell House, courtesy of Beavex. We were bussed into downtown Tucson to an old house with a great outdoor patio and plenty of food and drink to go along with the shimmering disco ball and dance beats.
I couldn't resist. The theme of the convention was 'The Seventies' and I was ready to play along.
I hit the floor head to toe in polyester with flared out maroon pants, a big-collared shirt incapable of producing a wrinkle, serious 70's era sunglasses and itchin' to boogie.
That's right, call me T-Lite Wiebe. I boogied my way to the top prize in The Hustle Dance-Off and was told by many that I was a shoo-in to win the John Travolta Walk-Off as well.
But no—I was robbed.
Bob DeCaprio, Executive Director of the MCAA, was handed the prize. Coincidence? I think not. Clearly, this event was fixed. Bob had no moves and was wearing a blue blazer and khaki slacks, and most definitely did not bring the boogie.
I was robbed.
Nonetheless, I had a great time in Tucson and look forward to the next MCAA/NTLA event.
And Bob… one word—
Rematch.
