Journease Software Training Day: A great Success! -

2008 offer ...
join the DA for only £50!

Journease Software Limited ran its first training course in November 2007. This event was well received and delegates travelled to the Bristol site from all over the country.

The comprehensive programme covered all aspects of the product as well as useful discussions that benefited all. One new area of interest was the use of mobile phones to allocate jobs on the go!!!

'It was a great training day. The course for me highlighted areas of Journease that we were not using to full potential and we have now implemented them. For someone new to the Journease system the course would give them the confidence to go live. The training book is concise and very helpful'

... Peter Baillie (Operations Manager Speedy Couriers, Peterbourough)

Journease Software is an IT package designed specifically for the courier industry. It enhances the efficiency of day to day functions and processes within a courier business, from driver/vehicle set up and job entry to job invoicing and business reporting.

Journease has now been upgraded to its fifth version with many additional benefits including:

1. Basic Fleet Management recording Vehicle Checks, Defects and Rectifications.
2. The ability to send and receive GOB/POD information from a mobile device.
3. Job and Trip optimisation facility.
4. Enhanced Pricing and Costing models.
5. Highly configurable and informative Live Console.
6. Improved screen layouts and usability.

One of the benefits of Journease is that it is constantly evolving through suggestions we get from our customers. This makes it a very competitive and up-to-date product.

'I would just like to say what an enjoyable & informative day I had when I attended the Training Day. The informal nature made it easy to relax & take in the main points that I was hoping to learn about Journease'

'For A to B Couriers it is a vital tool in our work &, having tried numerous systems throughout our time in the industry, I can say, without doubt, that Journease is by far the best we have used. The after sales support is also second to none & its not often you can say that nowadays! Certainly a must for anybody in the Courier industry.'

... Tony Peace (A to B Couriers, Sheffield)
