subject: The Implementation Of New Courier Programs [print this page] Trying to put a new courier program into place at a business can be an extremely disruptive process. It can derail a business much more than you might anticipate unless you think long and hard about the best way to implement the new program into the field. That is why using every tool at your disposal, such as a dispatch software demo, is something that you need to consider.
So why is a demo of the software a useful tool? It is actually one of the things which can help you the most when it comes to implementing the new program into your business. That is because it can help your employees to get experienced with the program before you actually install it on the live machines. This is the most important part of the process. Not only do they need to get familiar with it, but you also need to train them in the use of the software.
You need to either bring someone in that is an expert in the program, has used it before, or assign one of your own people to learn the program inside out and backwards so that they can administer the training program. This is critical. Training is an expensive endeavor at any time because you will essentially have to pay your employees for time when they are not really working. Therefore, you want to make sure that you can create a training program that is as focused and helpful as possible, with as little time wasted as you can.
Although you do need your employees to know about the software and to be trained on it, it is important that you don't forget about your customers in this process. Customers also need to be made aware of the program, and in some respects, trained on it as well.
Although courier software is going to be used on your drivers' mobile devices, and on your dispatch computers, it is also going to be part of your web interface which your customers will use. Customer satisfaction isn't likely to remain high if they don't know how to use your software. Putting out some kind of instructional material so that they know how to use the new program after you install it will help make sure that your customers want to keep using your business even after you make the changeover to the new program.
