bisTrack's Dispatch & Delivery improve customer loyalty
Integration captures last-minute changes to ensure accurate, on-time deliveries

VANCOUVER, B.C., Canada, June 4, 2007

Progressive Solutions Inc. has released new information about the Dispatch & Delivery capabilities built into its bisTrack business software.
bisTrack is used by building materials distributors and dealers to manage sales, procurement, logistics, analysis and reporting. bisTrack is the only leading software to integrate Dispatch & Delivery Management to ensure that accurate, up-to-the-minute information is captured when journey manifests are created to reduce delivery and invoicing errors.

“It’s a very slick and sophisticated set of features that makes the most of the Microsoft user interface capabilities to simplify the dispatch staff’s daily tasks of planning and scheduling deliveries,” says Graham Rigby, bisTrack Product Manager. “It checks that trucks are loaded properly and makes sure drivers have what they need to efficiently make the deliveries. It’s all built right into bisTrack.”

Some highlights of bisTrack’s Dispatch & Delivery features include:

   •  Instant sorting of scheduled deliveries by date, and delivery area/city.
   •  Drag-and-drop assignment of deliveries to trucks, with weight/volume capacity checks.
   •  Journey manifests printed for your drivers, containing drop sequence, delivery notices, special delivery instructions, and MS MapPoint maps.
   •  Integration with bisTrack for Instant Messaging about change orders.
“bisTrack will save a lot of time in dispatch and delivery,” says Graham Rigby. “But more importantly, the fact that it’s integrated in real-time with bisTrack’s order processing ensures you are giving your customers what they want, when they need it.”
