Abstract: A seed treatment flow path is configured to receive seed and seed treatment and discharge a combination of seed and seed treatment and a valve is configured for controlling seed movement in the flow path, wherein the valve includes a gate operably configured for opening and closing a gate opening. The seed treater also includes a liquid disperser for dispersing at least one liquid type of seed treatment in the flow path, wherein the liquid disperser is disposed downstream of the valve. The seed treater may also include a solid disperser for dispersing at least one solid type of seed treatment in the flow path, wherein the solid disperser is disposed downstream of the valve. The seed treater also includes an actuatable housing for actuating the seed treatment flow path for combinating the inputs into the flow path.

Abstract: A method and system for continuous flow seed treater data acquisition, commercialization, and use. The method and system include, for example, a seed treater with one or more seed treatment inputs, one or more seed treater operations, and one or more environmental inputs for treating seed at a controlled rate. Seed is treated with at least one of the one or more seed treatment inputs, and at least one of the one or more seed treater operations are controlled based on the at least one of the one or more seed treatment inputs.

Abstract: Systems and methods for real-time pricing of shipping vendors are provided. Various shipping vendors may be queried concerning shipping specifications. Some embodiments provide for a query to be transmitted to a shipping vendor through an interface associated with the particular shipping vendor. In response to the query, real-time pricing information associated with the shipping specifications is received and displayed to a user. Upon the user designating a shipping vendor, customized shipping labels for each shipping vendor may be generated.

Abstract: Systems and methods of the present invention for using an integrated database for shipping information are provided. Information gathered or entered during shipping label generation may be stored in a database. The label information may concern shipping labels associated with multiple shipping vendors. Information concerning shipping invoices may be received from the multiple shipping vendors are received, and a report may be generated based on the stored label information and the invoice information. The invoice information may also be stored in the database. Further, the invoice information may include electronic data interchange files received through vendor-specific interfaces.

Abstract: Exemplary systems and methods for documenting mail work flows are provided. A mailing label is read and the label information stored in a database. Additional information about the mailing service may be added to the database. Billing and/or delivery information is added to the database.
