Training and Support


       


Installation


One of the first steps in our partnership is the software Installation. On-site installation is scheduled on a first-come, first-serve basis, and every effort is made to accommodate any specific request. Please contact us with any questions you have regarding an installation schedule.


On-Site Training


We believe that the true value of your software can only be realized when your employees understand how to use it to the fullest. All training during the initial implementation of your computer system will take place at your offices with your own equipment. The training schedule will be flexible to work with your business schedule and each employee who will use the system participates in training the process.


The training process includes classroom demonstrations from the trainer, hands on practice with the system, and review of the training documentation. A trainer will sit with each user to ensure a complete understanding of the system and how to perform their daily tasks.


The training will be tailored the experience level and role of the users. For example, scale operators or drivers will have training in the scalehouse and on the truck with the actual equipment they will use. Dispatchers will have complete training that includes customer call simulation, two way communication with drivers, and report generation.


Members of management and operation controllers will have full training on the systems as well as key decision making aspects such as report generation and analysis tools.


Our trainers will make sure all of the involved employee are comfortable with system. Practice exercises are used to reinforce the material covered. Each user will produce samples of their daily work such dispatch tickets, route sheets, statements, or aging reports with the trainer at their side. The employees' understanding of the system is a top priority for our trainers.
