SIMPLIFY THE MANAGEMENT OF DRIVERS,
REDUCE OPERATING
AND LABOR COSTS
Facing an age-old problem has just become a whole lot easier. Calling in too many drivers, scheduling drivers too early or too late, and trying to effectively communicate the call-in schedule in a timely manner has been an all-too-costly adventure for many ready mix and construction material producers. Excess wages due to ineffective use of driver start times or lost business that results from not having the necessary drivers to respond to customer orders has an immediate and negative impact on profitability.
Fortunately, the Integra Driver Management module provides a far better solution to greatly simplify this process and to manage your driver payroll to the actual order demand.
Create Master Call-In Schedules in Seconds, With Optional Online Call Distribution
The Integra Driver Management module is the industry’s first fully integrated driver scheduling and management tool. By automatically analyzing the pending orders for any day and then automatically reviewing such factors as the driver activity schedule (planned time off, illness call-ins, etc.), plant seniority lists, plant restrictions or preferences and hours of service activity by driver, Integra Driver Management can create a master call-in schedule in seconds on a plant-by-plant basis. The scheduler can then layer in assumptions for last minute order additions or deletions due to weather, pending projects, etc. and create an accurate and cost effective schedule with minimal effort. Once the schedule has been created, it can optionally be posted to a web-hosted voice system whereby the drivers can call a toll-free number and secure PIN to obtain their starting times and locations. Driver call-in times are recorded for subsequent analysis by dispatchers to ensure that drivers have checked their schedule.
Operational Advantages:
- User-defined hours of service rules insure conformance to ever-changing federal and state regulations concerning the number of hours worked, consecutive days, overtime hours, etc.
- Eliminate time wasted trying to locate drivers each evening to notify them of their scheduled start time and location. Drivers can call a toll-free number at their convenience, and you know when they called in and what message they received.
- No need to purchase expensive computer or telephone equipment. This web-hosted service includes the entire infrastructure necessary to operate.
- Pay low monthly license fee for only those drivers that are actually scheduled through the system.
- Semi-automatic mode available. Integra Driver Management can calculate and generate the driver schedule, but you can wait to add the telephony (audio) component at a later date, thereby eliminating the monthly usage fees.
- Completely integrated with Integra Dispatch and Integra Office modules.
- Simple initial set-up, as it utilizes the existing Integra database files for drivers, plants, trucks, orders, etc.
