In reality, nothing more than a small office and a few vehicles is all that is needed to get a new transportation company up and running. While you may have always intended on running a larger space and improving the appearance of your office, you have probably had to prioritize and continuously put your long-term goals on hold. You might believe that you are not attracting new clients because you don’t have a cushy waiting area with new office furniture, but the fact of the matter is that your competitors have likely invested more in technology.
If you look at things with the perspective of your clients you will easily be able to understand what their focus is on. Making sure their merchandise is probably cataloged, packed and transported to its destinations without having to make number detours is only possible if you have a fleet management system. The Brett Brinton Zonar Systems team consults with dozens of transportation companies that are looking for new business solutions each day. Some of these companies have been in business for decades while others are still in the early development stages of their businesses. What they all have in common is a willingness and desire to learn what technologies will best help them to satisfy their customers.
While Brett Brinton CEO of Zonar Systems may not always be around to personally answer your phone calls, you can rest assured that his colleagues are around to address your concerns. Technology in the transportation industry is very accessible and even easier to implement. Portable devices can be used to inspect your vehicles, and the data can be electronically transferred to a nearby computer. You can take a completely hands off approach and ask your workers to supply you with hourly reports on your business operations and statistics.
