Harvey Software

What Harvey Software does

Harvey Software, Inc. is a privately held Florida corporation founded in 1983 and headquartered in Fort Myers, FL. The company develops the Computerized Parcel System (CPS), a Windows-based multi-carrier shipping software platform that prints labels, processes parcels, and shops carrier rates across UPS, FedEx, USPS, Endicia Internet Postage, and Spee-Dee Delivery from a single interface. The platform is FedEx Compatible Solution, UPS Ready, USPS MAC, and USPS eVS certified, and integrates with ecommerce systems (Amazon, eBay, Yahoo Stores, Google Checkout), order management systems (Freestyle M.O.M. via Universal Shipping Interface), and accounting software (QuickBooks) through ODBC and batch import/export tools.

The product portfolio is tiered: CPS Basics (entry-level at $30/month with email support, or $60/month with premium phone support), CPSLogic (standard), and CPSLogic Enterprise (multi-workstation). A modular add-on ecosystem extends the platform — RateBots and Smart RateBots (automated best-rate shopping), Address Verification Module (CASS-level validation), SHIP eLERT (customer tracking notifications), The Automator (hands-free batch processing), Cut'N Ship (address extraction), CPS Parcel Locator (cross-carrier tracking), and General Carrier Services (LTL and local delivery). Distribution combines direct sales via toll-free phone, an online store at harveyshop.com, and a multi-tier partner network (Integrated, Solutions, Technology, Compliance, and Industry Partners).

The customer base spans e-commerce retailers, mail order operations, and high-volume shippers processing 50 to 30,000+ orders per day, with CPS users collectively shipping over 200 million packages per year. Pricing is subscription-based with monthly and annual billing, no long-term contracts, and free carrier updates. Marketing is executed through a monthly newsletter (VerticalResponse), a YouTube channel, company blogs (Parcel Shipping Blog and News Blog), whitepapers, press releases, and PR. The company has remained founder-led under President/CEO Bert F. Hamilton (26+ years) with no disclosed external equity investors, no funding rounds, and no M&A activity.

Direct peers

• ShipStation (Auctane): ShipStation is the leading cloud-based multi-carrier shipping software for ecommerce and SMB shippers, integrating UPS, FedEx, USPS, and DHL. It is the most direct modern competitor to Harvey Software's CPS, serving the same multi-carrier SMB-to-enterprise shipper segment with a SaaS delivery model.
• ShipWorks: ShipWorks is a Windows-based multi-carrier shipping software originally developed for high-volume eBay and Amazon sellers, closely comparable to Harvey Software CPS in deployment model, feature set, and SMB/mid-market ecommerce shipper target customer.
• Shippo: Shippo is a cloud-based multi-carrier shipping platform offering USPS, UPS, FedEx, and DHL rate shopping with strong ecommerce integrations. It competes directly with Harvey for SMB and mid-market ecommerce shippers, but via a modern API-first, cloud-native architecture.
• Pirate Ship: Pirate Ship is a low-cost, cloud-based USPS-focused shipping label service that has expanded into UPS. It competes with Harvey's CPS Basics tier for price-sensitive SMB and individual ecommerce shippers seeking simple multi-carrier label printing.

Emerging players

• EasyPost: EasyPost provides a multi-carrier shipping API and rate shopping infrastructure used by developers and platforms to embed shipping functionality. It overlaps with Harvey's CPS in carrier connectivity and rate optimization but is delivered as an API rather than a desktop application, targeting a different buyer persona.
• Ordoro: Ordoro is a cloud-based shipping and inventory management platform aimed at SMB ecommerce merchants. It competes with Harvey in multi-carrier label printing and rate shopping, but bundles shipping with inventory and OMS functionality.
• ShipperHQ: ShipperHQ is a multi-carrier shipping rate engine and checkout platform for ecommerce stores, particularly Shopify and BigCommerce merchants. It overlaps with Harvey's RateBots/BestWay Calculator functionality but is positioned as a SaaS extension to ecommerce platforms rather than a standalone shipping workstation.

Broad incumbents

• Endicia (Auctane): Endicia is a USPS postage and shipping label solution now owned by Auctane (parent of ShipStation). It serves as both a partner within Harvey Software's CPS (Endicia Internet Postage is integrated) and as a broader incumbent competitor offering postage printing across multiple software platforms.
