Release Notes
09/01/2006

1. We have added a shipment mileage calculation system using PC Miler or Microsoft MapPoint. This feature will be an add on that can be purchased to use with Crown. The system will work by installing CFM5 Mileage Connection software. We will have 2 types of Mileage Connection software depending if you want to use PC Miler Server Edition or Microsoft MapPoint. Now when you enter a shipment using mileage, if you have a shipper and consignee entered it will calculate the mileage automatically for you between the 2 points. This will work for several move types including Delivery, Pickup, Pickup/Delivery and Door to Door.

If you are interested in purchasing our Mileage Connection software please contact our sales dept at 404-303-9313.

2. A shipment with a no calc settlement can be calculated using a % instead of only a flat number.
3. We have added the ability to quick rate a fuel surcharge when no calcing a shipment. This will allow you to enter any percentage you want or calculate fuel per mile quickly.

You can use this feature by clicking the $ sign next to fuel surcharge when no calcing a shipment.
