ALPHARETTA, GA – At its annual user conference in Atlanta, Datatrac Corporation (www.datatrac.com) demonstrated the latest addition to its web-based logistics system. As part of the Datatrac Web solution, a new online order entry capability has been added to the integrated distribution module already in use by couriers throughout the Datatrac network. With this new functionality, service providers can expand their distribution service offering to shippers who lack advanced EDI or integration technology.
The easy-to-use interface allows shippers to enter distribution orders, print bar code labels and then schedule pickup of their shipments. As those shipments move to their final destinations, continuous tracking through the Datatrac Network provides shippers with complete visibility into delivery status. Ultimately, they can easily view the recipient’s signature for proof of delivery. From start to finish, the complete cycle is handled from one convenient web portal: datatrac.com
Unlike other products that must be installed on desktop PCs, Datatrac’s web-centric back office system provides a modern design and functionality that can be tailored to fit the needs of both the carrier and their shippers. Users attending the 2008 conference had the opportunity to learn more about the new capabilities that will be added to the system at regular intervals. As additional features are rolled out, no other solution will be able to match the power and flexibility of Datatrac Web.
Datatrac’s Chief Executive Officer, Garland Duvall, commented, “The highly intuitive user interface of Datatrac Web is a major advancement that allows couriers and truckers to decide how they interact with their customers. It will also ease the training burden as companies struggle to integrate non-traditional workers into their operations.” The very nature of a web-based system lends itself to a decentralized workforce that can better service shippers’ needs. With this higher level of service comes the opportunity for tighter shipper relationships and faster market expansion—especially for providers certified through Datatrac Shipper Services™.
