Online Training 24/7

Systematic, a provider of rental and mobile equipment software, launches its online training center that is equipped with the flexibility of an on-demand interactive learning environment. The training courses offered include the company's Fundamental, Advanced and Customized program options, and they accommodate self-paced learning by offering comprehensive training paths for new employees and advanced-level staff members. Each tutorial provides step-by-step instructions to guide employees through the process of a new task. Screens are displayed in order of sequence and an audio guide explains how to perform practical day-to-day business activities. Learners can also control their own pace of learning through the pause, rewind or fast-forward features. Interactive practice sessions test the employee's knowledge of course materials and measure management's return on investment for training.

Fleet Tracking Software

The Cost & Care Fleet Management System (FMS), available from Fleet Cost & Care, is a complete fleet management system designed to meet the needs of companies who schedule and track vehicles and equipment, especially those companies requiring an extensive fleet service and preventative maintenance package. The software provides job and equipment costing; notifies users of scheduling conflicts; performs detailed revenue and expense reporting; creates work orders; and tracks repairs and preventative maintenance among other things. Fleet Cost & Care also offers NexGen FMS, which is designed for managing the assets of construction and equipment rental companies. NexGen FMS features dispatching for managing equipment and vehicles; seamless accounting interface; drag-and-drop one-click scheduling; website services and updates; and wireless connectivity and remote access. Fleet Cost & Care offers software customization that includes GPS tracking, handheld device data input and parts interfacing.

A New Look

Atlas International Lift Trucks recently launched its new website, www.atlasD2D.com. This site brings a new dimension to material handling dealers looking to buy or sell used forklifts and related material handling equipment. Many of the site's new features and fine-tuning were a result of online user suggestions and experience. These features include faster and more intuitive “Quick Search” tools, real-time inventory access, automatic e-mail notifications of new equipment arrivals, and a multi-lingual site that serves both English- and Spanish-speaking visitors. The various search tools have been fine-tuned to allow the user to narrow down results using specific criteria including the truck's year, model and lifting capacity. Registered users can also order Atlas' Forklift Serial Number Guide online as well as sell their used material handling equipment.
