Mileage Verification Tool

I just created a quick little tool to help customers with mileage verification. Mileage Verification is a quick File Maintenance verification tool that calculates mileages for all customers in the Master File and displays the customers for any entries where mileages could not be calculated.
 
This can then be used for making address corrections.
 
 
Restart Dispatch and go to the File Maintenance area. Click Mileage Verify.
 
When it finishes, it will present you with a list of all customers where mileages could not be calculated.
 
Enjoy.
Note: Mileage Verify is a proof of concept tool and is not directly support by MTI support staff. If you have an issue with it, please email amacneill@mtihorizon.com until it has been released by MTI.

Update from 2/7: The download has been removed for the Mileage Verification tool but if you do want to use it for a one-time verification of your data, please let me know.

ExecView : Turning Trucking software information into a gold mine!

Over the past week, I've just completed two more ExecView installations at Horizon trucking software installs and the response has been nothing short of fabulous.

ExecView takes information from a variety of sources (Horizon data, excel spreadsheets, accounting systems and more) and compiles it into a single page (here's a sample).

That page is updated regularly, backed up nightly and can be emailed. It's a huge competitive advantage for trucking companies who want to be on top of their business, not just on a monthly basis but on a daily basis. It reduces the amount of time that employees take compiling data and puts it directly in the hands of those who can do something with it.

Want more details? Call me at 613-851-4496 to discuss it further.
