Merging shipping address data into FedEx and UPS mapped fields
I would like to have a program developed that would automatically merge our shipping address data with websites such as FedEx and UPS. All of the information is available in Salesforce, but has to be manually entered into their website for each package.

You should already be able to get your shipping addresses merged with the FedEx and UPS websites by making Custom Links on your Page Layouts. Here's an example that tracks a package using it's Tracking Number: http://www.fedex.com/cgi-bin/tracking?tracknumbers={ If you're looking for more advanced integration you might also look at some AppExchange Apps such as Shipping 2.0™: http://www.salesforce.com/appexchange/detail_overview.jsp?id=a0330000002Yt15AAC |

I checked with Shipping 2.0 and they do not support either UPS or FedEx. We want to be able to integrate with their systems so that the name and address information gets automatically entered into their system. The tracking works fine once the package has been entered, but we want to avoid having to enter the address information manually into their system. |

Someone really should make a custom app for this - probably even FedEx or UPS. Of the hundreds of thousands of sales people who use Salesforce I'm sure that most of them have to regularly send FedEx or UPS pacakges to their clients and prospective clients. |

Can it really be true that there's no out of the box integration with FedEx or UPS? That could be a big non-starter... I have to believe someone has or is developing a solution. |

Having an integrated feature with FedEx or UPS to create waybills would be HUGE! Add our 5 votes to the stack. |

We would really appreciate an integration solution between SFDC and UPS/FED EX. This would save us a signifcant amount of time (typing in new addresses) and money (reduce mailings to inactive addresses.) |

This is an idea that would probably benefit from the implemetation of this http://ideas.salesforce.com/article/show/64176/The_Formula_Field_Exchange< if it also provide a library of custom links and buttons. |

I have built an integration before with DHL, Fedex, UPS, however it was with a 3rd party integration tool. Basically the shippers require you to submit technical validation that your solution works, however I'm happy to talk about this more with people who are interested. I agree, this should be released as an appexchange application. |

That being said, shipping a package wasn't as easy as I initially thought because there are so many situations to configure, hazmat, speed of delivery, however the payoffs were quite significant, ending up with batch shipping and storage of the shipping label image directly within salesforce. |

@btyuengsfdc are you planning to release your integration on the AppExchange? I think that there might be some people out there willing to pay for a comprehensive shipping application like that. |

btyeungsfdc - We are also very interested in the integration of UPS, FedEX, and DHL. We ship a lot of samples and need to integrate the tracking number back into Salesforce. If your application can do this, please contact me so we can discuss. We are willing to pay for the usage of your work. |
