eDirectGlass Releases Integrated Technician Route Planner

March 11, 2010 - PRLog -- SCOTTSDALE, AZ,  -- eDirectGlass, the worldwide leading provider of Internet-based AGRR enterprise resource management, point-of-sale and mobile related technologies, a wholly owned subsidiary of AMJ Logistics, Inc., today announced the introduction of technician route planning in all eDirectGlass TSM point-of-sale editions. The new route planning add-on, called Technician Route Sync or TRS for short, allows eDirectGlass customers to easily pre-plan a route and obtain precise travel logistics for any technician’s work day.

In an AGRR industry first, TRS gives eDirectGlass customers integrated “door-to-door” route planning that can easily be dispatched to compatible, over the counter, portable GPS devices by companies such as Garmin and TomTom. With this combination, eDirectGlass customers will benefit by having real-time and historic guidance on their routes throughout the day. Additionally, TRS routes are integrated with the eDirectGlass Mobile Edition to allow technicians, using this service and compatible devices, to have their schedule, work order, and invoice information right at their fingertips.

“The introduction of TRS marks an important step in our strategy to help independent AGRR shops compete against larger companies, such as Safelite AutoGlass®, that utilize some form of electronic route planning,” said Gary Hart, chief executive officer at eDirectGlass. “By directly integrating route planning and driving logistics into the point-of-sale system, we have eliminated another costly barrier for the independent AGRR shop to compete effectively. These types of services aid the independent in competing on the same level as the larger companies, but at a fraction of the cost and with better technology. The end result with TRS for the independent is a healthier bottom-line by reducing costs in unnecessary travel and better on time performance,” Hart concluded.

eDirectGlass is the first and only true Internet-based point-of-sale and business management system for small to large retailers in the AGRR industry. eDirectGlass is feature-packed with market-leading capabilities such as call center integration, free electronic data interchange for network invoices, document and image management, real-time supplier connectivity, integrated web pricing & scheduling and more; all with the ability to work from anywhere at anytime with little to no associated IT maintenance or costs. eDirectGlass is also the first and only company to offer a mobile edition of its technology for use on popular mobile telephone handsets such as the RIM BlackBerry, Apple iPhone, Google Android and Windows Mobile devices without the need to install any software.

eDirectGlass TRS is currently available for a select group of users who are concluding BETA testing and is scheduled to be rolled out to all users no later than April 15, 2010. Current eDirectGlass users who wish to join the BETA testing group should inquire with their eDirectGlass account manager. TRS will be available on a subscription basis with rates as low as $149.95 per month for up to 250 routes on average, per day. All of the eDirectGlass products, including TRS, will be available for hands-on demonstration in booth 11 at the 2010 Spring Auto Glass Show, May 20-22 at the Sanibel Harbour Marriott Resort & Spa in Ft. Myers, FL.
