CUSTOMER SPOTLIGHT
Yan Can Cook Logo. How does a master of the kitchen, of television, and of print further his reach? He does so with the help of Endicia.

Keenly interested in cooking since an early age, Master Chef Martin Yan established Yan Can Cook, Inc. to assist him in his culinary endeavors. To that end, Yan Can Cook, Inc. performs various promotional and support functions, including the development of cookbooks and recipes, the production of television shows and film, and merchandising. Via its efforts, with order fulfillment and shipping aided by Endicia, Yan Can Cook, Inc. and Chef Yan have done much to grow worldwide appreciation of Asian cuisine and culture.

Speaking of the impact that Endicia has had on the business, Tara Lee, Office Manager of Yan Can Cook, Inc., states: “Endicia has cut our order processing time in half, compared to UPS online, the Postal Service online, and FedEx, and has reduced our shipping costs by roughly 60%; plus, we have increased sales, bettered our customer service, and improved our shipping records, having eliminated the need to log shipments as all transactions are recorded online.”

FEATURE STORY
Feature Illustration. Ship From Your Database
Avoid the errors and cost of double entry. Endicia Professional links to your database to streamline USPS shipping.

Simply scan or enter an order or invoice number, and Endicia Professional will retrieve and verify the shipping address from your order database. Place the package on your scale, choose the mail class and additional services, and you’ll see the shipping cost displayed. When you’re ready to print the label, click the Print button. Within seconds a label will print and you’re ready to move on to your next order! Endicia Professional also posts-back the shipment data (such as date, postage, or tracking numbers) into your database. You’ll enjoy the same streamlined operation for your postal shipments as with private carrier software.
