Bid Request IDWKU-10338Bid Request NameUniversity Parcel Tracking Software SolutionStateIssuedDescription Western Kentucky University is in the beginning stages of exploring parcel tracking solutions for our centralized Shipping and Receiving department. Ideally, our team would like to integrate barcode tracking software, mobile scanning capability to monitor and control the flow of inbound, outbound, and internal assets as they enter, exit, and move throughout the University. Currently, we have a simplified system in place using UPS Trackpad to monitor parcels as they move through the receiving and delivery process on our campus. At this point, we are wanting to gather more information and a better understanding of what the ongoing costs would be for the University. Our goal of this RFI is to investigate solutions that would be more advantageous for WKU than our current system in place. WKU Central Receiving and Inventory Control are asking for RFI responses for the following needs:
-Centralized software platform to track approximately 1,500 inbound packages per week. -Processing and tracking for both inbound and outbound parcels, with the possibility of including USPS mail at some point. -Email notifications and the ability to integrate with our campus directory (Banner). -Ability to export detailed reports -Mobile capabilities for parcel deliveries throughout campus with real-time proof of delivery and outbound pick-up. -The option (later on) to incorporate University asset tracking and inventory control in the future. -Real-time support and assistanceBid Request TypeRFIGeneral CategoryMailing and shipping softwareBid BehaviorStandard Allow Online RegistrationYesRequire Company ProfileYesRequire Tax ProfileYesRequire Bank AccountNoRequire Bank Account ProofNoRequire Insurance CertificateNoCreated Date9/8/2022 10:40 AMIssue Date9/8/2022 12:47 PMReminder Date9/29/2022 5:00 PMQuestions Due Date9/22/2022 5:00 PMResponse Date10/6/2022 5:00 PMContact NameEmily HollenOrganization (WKU_ORG) Western Kentucky UniversityContact Emailemily.hollen@wku.edu
