Brookfield, Wis., September 12, 2016 - ProShip, Inc., a Neopost company, today announced that Mason Companies, a nationwide retailer of footwear, apparel and general merchandise, has purchased its CVP-500 automated packing solution.

"Mason Companies currently uses the ProShip Product Suite, our enterprise-wide, multi-carrier shipping software that optimizes shipping processes. With the CVP-500, the company will have a fully integrated cost-saving solution for order fulfillment that will increase packing and shipping efficiencies, especially during the peak holiday season."

"The CVP-500 will be a great addition to Mason Companies," said Pat Sullivan, Distribution Center Manager at Mason Companies. "We saw the CVP-500 in action while in Europe, where it has been very well received by a number of large retailers. We were extremely impressed with its capabilities and its ability to improve our warehouse efficiency and customer service. At the same time, the CVP-500 will help us to save money in labor, packaging materials and shipping costs. The new system will be installed in time to handle the peak shipping volumes of the upcoming holiday season and we look forward to seeing the valuable results we know this innovative system can achieve."
