Transportation

Utilizing employee information

With the Bay Area serving as an important global shipping hub for the region and for Asia/Pacific destinations, a number of transportation companies run operations locally and require custom systems and application development work.

One of the projects we’ve undertaken in this field involved managing a corporate directory for a transportation firm with 240 locations worldwide. The custom database application was used to track employee information and publish a printed corporate directory. It not only tracked thousands of employees globally, but also enabled the information to be cross-referenced by location and geography. Information was organized in the system in a camera-ready format for virtual hands-free publication. This system was easier to maintain than an unstructured employee list, and the paper publication was more accurate and easier to use. The custom application improved efficiencies, streamlined processing, and reduced costs.
