ATLANTA (AP) _ UPS has reached a deal with Yahoo! Inc. to make it easier for shippers to process orders, track packages and calculate costs online.

The tools will be accessible through Yahoo's small business section. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Over the last few years, UPS and rival FedEx Corp. have been scrambling to embed their online shipping tools into the business software and Web sites their customers use most.

FedEx tools are a seamless, exclusive part of the popular QuickBooks accounting program. UPS has an agreement with eBay and says its online tools are used by nearly 200,000 customers in 40 countries.
