There doesn't seem enough time in the day to try and make a plan and stick to it, with geopolitical change, employee turnover, interest rate and fuel price hikes, shutdowns, and the like, to figure it out on the fly.

The best solution is tried and true processes for quickly bringing about change, without throwing out what you already do, and leverage some amazing software, that when integrated, can allow you to do more with less, and manage your way through this change and all the change that is coming.

The only constant changes.

We love the web and all that it does for us, but the downside is increased competition, phasing out of old software systems, the trial-and-error process of picking software, trying to implement and customize it, and handling the integrations just to realize it's not the right solution, and repeat. This can continue over many years and over many vendors.

Change is good, but only if you are implementing the right processes, automated by the right software apps, integrated as a system, and customized to your existing business processes and software, to add incremental improvements, without a full rip-and-replace.

The goal is to quickly innovate and train people on how to take advantage of the new solutions, and iterate, with the right plan, and training.

Most software vendors are not much help in this regard, as they look at it as selling a product, and let the setup, customizations, training, support, and maintenance be something the customer must manage on their own.

This doesn't work, because logistics companies are too busy figuring out the new business landscape, and are not software project management experts, to begin with.

It is tough to be an expert at your day job as well as be an expert software provider.

Most companies go through many software vendors and they never get the right solution, either because the people who knew how it works have left, the software is out of commission, the company has been sold off, or any other number of reasons.

The result is that the customer has been left holding the bag.

Customizations and integrations are some of the toughest Computer Science problems to manage, over a long period, and maintain uptime around the clock, with seamless updates to manage changes in business processes.

It is so difficult that most software vendors can't handle it, thus the reason they are no longer the ones you can rely on, forcing you to look for new software constantly.

The solution is to create a good plan, with short-term, medium-term, and long-term goals, with setup and training included, and fully customized and integrated, and something that will stay with you throughout the life of your business, and grow and change along with it.

Professional Services are the people that are experts at understanding your needs, wants, and fears, and putting together the plan for success, building, maintaining, and supporting the users and system, with a constant flow of upgrades, customizability, and integrations, to manage change going forward.

Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) or Cloud software has come a long way in the past few years.

Now you can manage processes and automate them, across all divisions, and across all apps, with a common workflow that is fully customizable, and grows with you, is customizable self-service, and has a running and proven system that has helped thousands of clients for over 20 years.

Customize web forms and surveys, with customized landing pages to automate the processes and transform your website into a self-service machine that will allow customers to do more themselves and allow employees to do it for them faster, with fewer errors and data entry, resulting in a better experience for the customer, the employees, and everyone involved.

This is Customer Relationship management at its core, and it is what both customers and employees need to be happy working with you because that is what they are used to in other areas of their life. They are used to web-based self-service tools in almost every other aspect of their lives, but in the logistics industry change has been resisted, resulting in problems that need solving quickly.

Forward-thinking logistics companies are understanding that new solutions are required to satisfy a web-savvy customer and employee at the same time and that the right partner and solutions can make or break the business.

Get it right and you grow. Get it wrong, and who knows.

You don't have to re-do all the work we have done over 20 years of setting up and training our customers, on the software that we build, maintain, and update every quarter. We know the pains of building and maintaining great software apps, and integrations because we have iterated so many thousands of times, and we track everything that works and doesn't work.

We share this with you to become the extra man on the field that is partnered in your success.

It breeds customers for life in our business, and we can show you how to do the same in your business, without a lot of time, effort, or money.
