There are
many transportation software packages available today, but will
they be useful tomorrow?
The transportation industry changes
continually. That is why we offer "evolutionary software for
a dynamic industry." With over 30 years of experience at
meeting the information management needs of transportation
companies, we have learned many things. The most important of
these is that it needs to be simple and effective.
Listed below are some simple, yet effective, ideas that we have
implemented to help our customers meet the challenges of their
markets.
Global Hot Keys
The system comes with the ability to bring up a list of
functions, no matter where you are in the system. We call them our
"Global Hot Keys." These functions include:
- Inquiring into the Master Files of your system, like
Customers, Vendors, Drivers, Units, Trailers, Commodities,
Location ID’s, etc.
- Adding information into your system on the fly, such as
Customers, Drivers and Vendors.
- Bringing up your Mileage System to look up miles for
a customer.
- Trace a shipment for a customer.
- Pull up an image for viewing or printing if Imaging is
installed.
- Fax an image, memo or printout to a customer.
- Go directly to your Mobile
Communications software like PeopleNet or Qualcomm.
- Give/Look Up a Rate Quote.
- Print/Fax a Rate Quote.
- Issue a Driver Advance.
- Look up a city name or zip code.
- Use a calculator.
- Enter/look up notes.
- Ability to control which employees can use what Global Hot
Keys is set up by the Menu System Security.
All of this can be done without having to quit what you
were working on in the first place!
Menu System Security
Our Menu System comes complete with the ability to limit
employee access to options of your choice. Below are some features
of the Menu System.
- Users can view only those options you want them to see.
- Set up individual users or groups of users (e.g. a
dispatcher group, billing group, accounting group).
- Provides a high level of data security and
management
comfort.
- Keeps your employees focused on their
jobs.
Valid Cities and Zips
Included in the system is the ability for us to help validate
your data entry automatically. This will help you keep your data
clean for Dispatch, Billing, Rating, Employee files, etc.
- If the City and State fields on a screen are entered,
the system can
fill in the preferred Zip automatically for you.
- If you have a Zip, the system will fill in the City and State.
- Look up a valid city name by typing part of the name to
start the inquiry.
- Use in Dispatch to get accurate locations for running
mileage and calculating ETA.
