The most powerful dispatching software system in the country is now available as an Online Service. In fact, Express is the only Windows based, fully integrated dispatching and accounting software system in the transportation industry. This is latest generation and completely state of the art. The most modern and the most advanced system of its kind.
This has a great number of implications for your business.
No Browser
While many online software systems operate via a browser, this is not the best technology. Browsers are not designed to act as a window into an application. They are designed to surf the web. The best online applications are delivered via state of the art Windows Terminal Servers. So why is this configuration better than browser-based software systems?
Much Faster - Terminal Server delivers graphics and data much faster than web pages. It's lightweight and never wastes time caching screen changes.
Better Interaction - If you've ever purchased merchandise online then you know how browser-based applications operate and you already know it's not the right way to operate a business.
No Software to Install
One of the best things about Express Online is that you don't have to install anything. No workstation software to install, no server software to install. Express Online runs from a shortcut on your desktop just like any other installed program, but you don't have to install anything. It sounds too simple, as if there has to be more, but there isn't. We email you a shortcut and you copy it to your desktop. That's the entire installation process. In as little as a few minutes we can have virtually any company fully operational.
Lower Hardware Costs
If you are going to operate a correct network that supports any significant number of users then you could easily be looking at a six figure project. A correct network would, at a minimum, involve a dedicated database server, a domain controller, a file server, possibly a terminal server, possibly a mail server, and a backup server for every primary server plus software and labor costs for every server in the farm. Considering that any of the aforementioned servers could cost ten times more than an ordinary workstation, it's easy to see how workstations are the least expensive portion of the hardware cost equation. With Express online you need a workstation with internet access. Any Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7 based PC or laptop will work. That's it. No servers required.
Automatic Upgrades
You will always have the latest version whenever you log in to Express Online because there is only ever one version available. We perform weekly software upgrades during non-business hours. There's nothing for you to do.
Connect Multiple Locations
The costs associated with connecting users in multiple locations can be extraordinary. Besides the startup costs, hardware, software and labor, there are very high recurring costs to contend with as well. High speed data lines, co-locations and hosted storage are just some of the requirements that will bring substantial costs into your profit picture every single month.
