VANCOUVER, BC - April 25, 2005 - Tailwind Management Systems Inc.
debuts another innovation for the transportation industry. Their
dispatch software is the first to offer the ability to send and
receive messages and automatic updates to and from drivers using any
email capable cell phone or wireless device.
"This is exciting stuff," says Keith Retallack, Marketing Manager for
Tailwind. "We have made two-way messaging available to anyone with an
email capable cell phone." Retallack also added, "There are many
different things this form of messaging can accomplish. Dispatchers
can do load-assignments with the click of a button and the software
will send out a message to the driver by automatically filling in the
blanks of a template with the location and pickup details pulled from
the dispatch system. For example, dispatchers can send plain text
messages that say, 'How long are you going to be?', 'Have you picked
up that shipment yet?' or 'What time do you think you'll be back?'"
Keith also points out, "Drivers, on the other hand, can easily send
notification of each pickup and drop-off that will automatically
update the office dispatch software. That means they can capture the
location of the vehicle at that time and update the systems equipment
status board too."
Keith stated that there are a number of other innovations just around
the corner like a Management Control Center module that instantly
shows the status of key performance indicators of the carrier at any
time.
