Does anyone know if V-Technologies has come out with a ""MAS 90/200 Starship Link"" for version 4.50? I can see people not adopting 4.50 if they don't have their old-style link method from shipping data entry.

I remember them last year looking for a developer to write the interface. They aren't using DSD.

I wonder who they are using and when they are going to release it. 4.50 is actually out the door, and customers are starting to go live on it already.

I talked to them this week. They say they are delivering Link themselves using BOI technology. Pricing has changed to alacarte.

Wasn't there some missing functionality with the BOI interface? I think someone reported it here and VTechnologies admitted it?

It appears the new link will be developed with SWK and will be released on December 30th.

Just got the same email too on SWK.

Okay, well today is December 30th and I have not seen anything yet. But, it's not end of day yet.

Here's the last I heard from V-Tech - Caroline Walsh - she didn't mention a release date. Hi Wayne, You heard correctly! We're excited to get the new interface out there with all of the new feature enhancements. Unfortunately I don't have a feature sheet on it yet but following is a summary of some of the enhancements being added: * Line item integration - retrieves item info to further automate international and ltl shipments * Field mapping optimization - an easy-to-use interface provides access to modify the default set of field maps and translations * Access to user-defined fields from within this utility provide unmatched flexibility for personalizing the interface * Scale integration allows you to weigh the package while in Shipping Data Entry for more efficient package handling * Coming Soon - access to the StarShip dashboard from Package Summary Tracking gives you instant access to tracking info across carriers and modes (parcel/ltl) We are making this available free-of-charge to customers current on subscription. For new customers it will be included in the standard base module. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks, Caroline

I emailed Amy @ V-Tech for an update.

Received response from David Henry: ""It is ready to go but we haven't made a formal announcement yet. We are distributing it as requested for now. The announcement will come later.

I think that's called either beta or alpha

With V-Technologies it would be 'Pre-Alpha'
