Stop by our booth – we’re demoing our new Safari Extension for Ecommerce sites and Marketplaces.  The show runs through Saturday.

NRG is in the process of testing current versions of our products for compatibility with the public release of FileMaker Pro 12. Pre-release testing has shown no issues, however we would like to err on the side of caution as shipping is such a critical function for many organizations. Updates will be posted here as testing is completed.

Following on the heels of pickers and pawn brokers, A&E’s Shipping Wars premieres on Tuesday, January 10, 10/9C. This real-life series follows six independent shippers who have discovered that fortunes can be made transporting items that traditional carriers won’t touch. Dive into the cutthroat world of these heavy-duty movers as they battle for the chance to transport the unshippable.

Be sure to follow these shippers off-screen on Twitter!
