Working with OTS on launching the LDR website was a partnership that continues to pay dividends. OTS worked closely with us during development and after the site went live to ensure that it meets the needs of all stakeholders, including LDR staff, policymakers, tax professionals and individual and business taxpayers. The support they continue to provide is invaluable.

Working with OTS to implement Pitney Bowes Shipping 360 with the PitneyShip Cube has completely transformed LDH logistics operations. The combination of the intuitive Shipping 360 cloud platform and the all-in-one thermal printer/scale (Cube) has drastically reduced our shipping prep time and eliminated inaccuracies in package weights. With the PitneyShip Cube, we no longer need expensive ink since thermal printing makes label creation fast and seamless. Furthermore, Shipping 360 gives us a 360-degree view of all our shipping across various carriers, allowing us to control costs, access better rates, and streamline our overall workflow. I highly recommend this solution to modernize your shipping processes.
